Scale
Main Ingredients (Starch):
- 5 potatoes, medium
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
- 1–2 teaspoons truffle oil
Preparation Ingredients:
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Select unpeeled potatoes and transform them into elongated strips using a sharp knife or specialized potato cutter, ensuring uniform thickness for consistent cooking.
- Rinse the cut potatoes thoroughly and immerse them in cold water for 15-20 minutes to eliminate excess starch, which helps achieve crispier results. Drain completely and pat dry with clean kitchen towels, ensuring zero residual moisture.
- Generously coat potato strips with light cooking spray, rotating them to guarantee even distribution. Sprinkle kosher salt across the surface for initial seasoning.
- Transfer potato strips into air fryer basket, arranging them in a single layer without overcrowding to promote optimal circulation and crispiness.
- Activate air fryer at recommended temperature, cooking for approximately 10-12 minutes while occasionally shaking the basket to encourage uniform browning.
- Midway through cooking, drizzle premium truffle oil across potatoes, ensuring each piece receives delicate aromatic coating.
- Two minutes before completion, scatter freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the fries, allowing it to melt and create a savory, crispy exterior.
- Once golden and crisp, remove from air fryer and garnish with additional Parmesan cheese for enhanced flavor profile.
- For alternative preparation, frozen fries can be utilized, following package recommendations while incorporating truffle oil and Parmesan during final cooking stages.
Notes
- Potato Prep Matters: Soaking cut potatoes in cold water removes excess starch, ensuring crispier and more evenly cooked fries.
- Moisture-Free Zone: Thoroughly drying potatoes before cooking prevents sogginess and helps achieve that perfect golden-brown exterior.
- Oil Coating Technique: Evenly spraying potatoes with oil creates a uniform crisp and helps seasonings stick better.
- Cheese Timing is Crucial: Adding Parmesan in the last 2 minutes prevents burning and ensures a melty, flavorful topping.
- Truffle Oil Secret: Add truffle oil towards the end of cooking to preserve its delicate, aromatic essence and prevent flavor loss.
- Frozen Fry Hack: You can easily adapt this recipe using frozen fries, making it a quick and convenient option for busy days.
