Equipment

1 cast iron skillet or deep fryer
1 Chefs Knife
papertowels
2 medium size bowl

Ingredients

4-5 russet potatoes large
2 tablespoon truffle oil
½ cup parmesan cheese grated
2 teaspoon salt
canola oil or peanut oil for frying

Instructions

Peel the potatoes. Slice the potatoes into thin sticks, about a half inch thickness and about 2-2 ½ inches long depending on the size of the potato. Soak the potato in water. Spread a paper towel on the counter and spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the paper towels. Dry the potatoes completely.
Heat the oil up to about 350 degrees in a cast iron skillet on the stove or in the deep fryer. Add half of the french fries. Fry for about 5 minutes and remove. Repeat for the other half. Bring the heat of the oil up to about 400 degrees. Fry the fries again for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oil.
Add the french fries to a medium size bowl. Toss a little salt in with the fries.
Drizzle the truffle oil over the fries and toss. Grate fresh parmesan cheese over the fries and toss. Serve with additional parmesan cheese grated on top.

Notes

Do not skip the step of soaking the potatoes in water. This step is extremely important in making sure your fries crisp nicely as it removes some of the starch.
Always double fry your french fries for extra crisp.
Do not over do it with the truffle oil. A little bit goes a long way in terms of flavor.
