Baking the Fries

  2. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown, flipping halfway through.
  3. Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle the truffle oil over them. Toss to coat evenly.
Making Garlic Aioli

Serving

Notes

For the best crunch, ensure potatoes are dried well after soaking. Avoid using a microwave when reheating.
