Truffle Fries Recipe

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes

Equipment

  • Air Fryer optional

Ingredients

  • 1 kg package frozen French fries - bistro or crinkle cut fries
  • 454 g package mushrooms - optional
  • 1 cup mayonnaise 
  • 1/2 cup olive oil - avocado oil works too
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese - finely grated
  • 1/4 lemon squeezed - approximately 4 tbsp
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 30 drops Hedessent Black Truffle Flavouring - 15 drops for mayo, 15 drops for oil
  • 10 drops Hedessent Pesto Flavouring

Instructions

  • Preheat Air Fryer or oven to 375F. If using, roughly chop mushrooms into ½-inch pieces and place in large pan heated to medium low. Sprinkle with ½ teaspoon salt.
  • In a small bowl or glass measuring cup, pour olive oil, parsley, 15 drops Black Truffle flavouring, and 10 drops Pesto flavouring. Drizzle 2 tablespoons flavoured oil over mushrooms (if making). Cook until they are browned and release most of their moisture, stirring occasionally, approximately 15-20 minutes. You are looking for them to be quite dry in the pan and feel a little chewy.
  • While mushrooms are cooking, place fries in a large bowl and toss with remaining flavoured olive oil. Air-fry for 10mins. If baking in the oven, place on a large baking tray in a single layer and bake for 12 minutes.
  • While fries are cooking, Combine mayonnaise, remaining 15 drops Black Truffle flavouring, ½ teaspoon salt, pepper, lemon juice, and half of the grated Parmesan cheese in a small bowl.
  • After 10-12 minutes of cooking fries, or when fries feel slightly crisp but not browned, remove from air-fryer or oven, toss fries in bowl with half of truffle mayo mixture. Place back in air-fryer or oven for an additional 5-8 minutes depending on how crispy you like your fries.
  • Place fries on a platter topped with chewy truffle mushrooms (if using) and remaining cheese. Serve remaining mayonnaise on the side as a dip or drizzled on top.

Notes

PRO TIP #1: 
To make this recipe vegan, replace cheese with 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast and add 10 drops Hedessent Parmesan Flavour to vegan mayonnaise.
PRO TIP #2: 
You can make these an hour or 2 ahead, leave on the pan, and reheat in the oven for 5 minutes.
PRO TIP #3: 
Recipe can easily be halved or doubled, as needed. 
PRO TIP #4: 
This recipe feeds a few people, so if you are using a small air-fryer, it will be done in 2 batches.
