French fries are one of the most favorite finger foods for both kids and adults. They make snacking good. How can you ask? French fries are easy to make as well as easy to eat. Slice the potatoes, deep fry them to get crispy skin and then sprinkle salt and pepper over it. Seasoning can vary as many people like to add peri-peri mix to their fries, just for an extra punch. What makes the fries stand out? They can be paired with anything like burgers and pizza, but when cheesy or baked, they truly take center stage. Be it a mid-day meal or an evening snack, Fry’s will never disappoint you.
Although this delicious finger food is a treat for your tastebuds, it is also capable of sending you on a journey of guilt. But we do have a slightly healthier version of french fries to pitch. Have you heard of truffle fry? The recipe was shared on Instagram by famed chef Guntas, and you don’t want to miss it.

Along with the recipe, Chef Guntas wrote, “We all love fry-days. We’re just grateful for the different ways we eat potatoes but this should always be a favorite.”
How to Make Truffle Fries – Chef Guntas shares the recipe:
material:
- Potatoes – 3
- salt to taste
- Mixed Garlic – 3 tbsp
- Olive oil – 1 tsp
- Shaved Parmesan Cheese – 1 tbsp
- Red capsicum powder – 1 tsp
- Chopped parsley – 1 tbsp
- Truffle Oil – 1 tbsp
method:
- First cut the potatoes into thin wedges. Empty it in a fan with water. Boil the potatoes by adding some salt.
- Now sieve the potatoes. Put these in a bowl and add the mixed garlic, olive oil, salt, shaved Parmesan cheese, paprika powder and some chopped parsley. The wedges should be well covered with the spices.
- Bake in an air fryer or oven at 200*c for 12-15 minutes or till they are cooked.
- Next, you’ll need to toss it again in 1 Tbsp truffle oil, some shaved Parmesan cheese, and parsley.
Chef Guntas also mentioned some tips in the caption:
- He said that getting truffle oil is a bit difficult. But one should not indulge in quality, because “better quality, better taste.”
- If you don’t have an air fryer, the chefs suggest deep frying them or baking them in the oven.
- For garnish, you can top it off with garlic, peri peri, parsley, Parmesan, and more.
- Truffle fries don’t rest well because they get soggy too quickly and the truffle oil loses flavor. The way out is to “serve them hot.”
