Ingredients for Homemade Truffle Fries
Potatoes – Russet potatoes or starchy baking potatoes are the best choice for a crisp exterior and a fluffy interior. However, any potato will do and if you’re short on time, use a bag of thawed-out frozen fries in any shape!
Truffle Oil – Truffle fries often come with a hefty price tag however, you can purchase inexpensive Truffle oil and a little goes a long way. Truffle oil spray is another great way to turn meals or sides into a gourmet treat!
Seasonings – If you have it, leftover bacon grease is an excellent (and budget-friendly!) alternative to olive oil and will give truffle fries a slightly smoky flavor. Use this seasoned salt recipe and tailor the ingredients to your liking.
