Ingredients
- 2 large russet potatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp truffle oil
- Salt to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will help achieve crispy fries.
- Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
- Using a spiralizer, spiralize the potatoes into shoestring-sized strands. If you don't have a spiralizer, you can use a julienne peeler or a sharp knife to cut the potatoes into thin matchstick shapes.
- Once spiralized, place the potato strands in a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Let them soak for about 10 minutes. This step helps to remove excess starch and will result in crispier fries.
- After soaking, drain the potato strands and pat them dry with paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dried potato strands with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, and salt to taste. Toss everything together until the potato strands are evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned potato strands in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are not overcrowded to ensure even cooking.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning; they should be golden brown and crispy.
- Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of truffle oil. Toss gently to coat the fries evenly.
- Transfer the garlic truffle fries to a serving platter and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and added flavor.
- Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your delicious Spiralized Shoestring Garlic Truffle Fries!
Tips
- Moisture is the enemy of crispiness! Make sure to thoroughly pat your potato strands dry before baking to ensure maximum crunch.
- Use a high-quality truffle oil for the most authentic and rich flavor – a little goes a long way.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. Spread the potato strands in a single layer to allow proper air circulation and even cooking.
- For extra crispiness, consider using a wire rack on top of your baking sheet to allow air to circulate underneath the fries.
- Experiment with different seasoning blends – try adding some grated parmesan or a sprinkle of herbs for additional flavor complexity.
- Serve immediately after cooking to maintain the perfect crispy texture and warmth.
