Method
 

Preparation
  1. Clean and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into uniform strips to ensure even cooking.
  2. Soak the potato strips in cold water for about 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
  3. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  4. Drain the potato strips and pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Toss them in a bowl with olive oil and salt.
Baking the Fries
  1. Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  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
  1. In a separate bowl, mix together mayonnaise, minced garlic, and lemon juice.
Serving
  1. Plate the fries warm and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve with the garlic aioli on the side.

Notes

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