Equipment

Ingredients

  • 5-6 medium potatoes see notes
  • This is an affiliate link.cooking spray
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 4 tbsp This is an affiliate link.Parmesan cheese
  • 1-2 tsp truffle oil

Instructions

  • Wash the potatoes and cut them unpeeled. You can use a knife or a potato chipper. Wash the cut potatoes again or better yet soak them in cold water for 10-20 minutes if time allows. Then drain and dry them thoroughly with a kitchen towel. There should be no moisture left on the surface of your potatoes.
  • Spray them with an oil spray all over, shake and spray again until evenly coated, then season with salt. Put your seasoned potatoes into the basket of an air fryer, select the Air Fry option with the temperature set to 200C/400F and cook for 10 minutes. Then take the basket out, shake the potatoes very well, drizzle with the truffle oil and cook for 8-10 minutes longer until the potatoes are golden on the outside and cooked all the way through. 2 minutes before the fries are done, open the air fryer and sprinkle with 2 tbsp of grated Parmesan cheese, then cook until the cheese is melted.
  • Sprinkle with more Parmesan cheese before serving.
  • Alternatively you can cook the fries in an oven. Prepare the fries as above and bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet in an oven preheated to 200C/375F. Cook for 20 minutes, turn the temperature up to 220C/425F and cook for a further 15 minutes. Remember to stir occasionally so they cook evenly. Then take the baking sheet out and drizzle with olive oil and add to the oven for another 10-15 minutes, depending on the desired level of crispness. 2 minutes before they are done, sprinkle with 2 tbsp of grated Parmesan cheese.
    Or use frozen fries and either air fry them for 6-8 minutes or oven cook them according to package instruction. Add the truffle oil and grated Parmesan in the last 2 minutes, so the truffle scent doesn’t evaporate.

Notes

My favourite potatoes for this recipe are Yukon Gold (US) or Maris Piper (UK). Avoid using red potatoes in particular.
