Bon Appétit: Truffle Fries and Moët Ice Impérial


Still feeling under the weather this week.  I can't seem to shake this!  Anyone have a secret to fighting colds?

I made these truffle fries recently and I want to share the recipe with you.  They're the perfect snack!  I took inspiration from this photo and picked up a favourite bottle of champagne to pair them with {Moët Ice Impérial is suggested}.   The combination was Divine!

The Most Decadent Recipe For Truffle Fries

White Hot Truffle Fries Recipe
Ingredients:
2 pounds russet potatoes
1 ounce white truffle oil (I prefer Urbani)
2 ounces grated Parmesan reggiano
1 ounce shaved Parmesan reggiano (use a peeler or large sided grated)
3 quarts peanut or soybean oil
Pinch sea salt & pepper

Directions:
Rinse the potatoes and then cut them into sticks by cutting the potato in 4 or 5 vertical pieces, and then cut each piece into sticks.
Place them in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Allow them to soak, 2 hours.
When you're ready to make the fries, drain off the water and lay the potatoes on baking sheets and blot with paper towels.
Heat the oil in a heavy bottom handled pot to 300 degrees F. In 3 or 4 batches, cook the potatoes until soft, 4 to 5 minutes per batch. You are not cooking them to be golden brown at this point you are only starting the cooking process. Remove each batch and drain on dry paper towels.

  3. Oh dear, I hope you're feeling better, I'm sure that decadent little snack did the trick!
    About making chips (fries), I always rinse the chipped potatoes before frying but I didn't know that they should be left to soak for two hours.
    That means a bit of planning in advance before making chips!
