These French fries are so crispy baked in the oven using olive oil. Everyone in the house has become addicted to the flavor of truffles… it’s a good thing, believe me! So this truffle mayonnaise was a natural partner for these fries.

These French fries are super crispy, even though they’ve been baked in the oven using olive oil. Pair them with Truffle Mayonnaise for an incredible taste sensation!!
Ingredients
- For Fries:
- 4 Large potatoes
- 1/4 to 1/3 cup olive oil
- Truffle salt
- Fresh Ground Black Pepper
- For Truffle Mayo:
- 1/2 cup Mayo (I use the kind made with olive oil)
- 1/2 cup fat free plain yogurt
- 1 Tablespoon Truffle oil, or more to taste
- Truffle salt, to taste
- Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- For Fries:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat a baking sheet with olive oil.
- Wash the potatoes if you’re leaving the skins on (as I did), or peel them, if desired.
- Cut the potatoes into the desired thickness that you want your fries.
- Place cut fries on paper towels and rid the potatoes of excess moisture by blotting dry.
- Toss the fries on the baking sheet and be sure to evenly coat them with the olive oil, truffle salt, and black pepper.
- Place the fries in a single layer, keeping them separated.
- Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until the fries are crispy and golden.
- Serve right away with Truffle Mayonnaise for dipping.
- For Truffle Mayonnaise:
- While the fries are cooking you can make the Truffle Mayo by mixing all the incredients together.
- Be sure to taste it, and then add a little salt and pepper at a time to get the flavor exactly the way you like it!
This is crazy good!
You’d never know that those “fries” are actually baked. And once you’ve dipped them in truffle mayo, ketchup is just not good enough any more.
Umami deluxe – with a potato and fungus!
You’re such a lucky guy! My “taste tester”. Actually, I’m really lucky, too!!
These look amazing. I love french fries. And people think I’m weird b/c I will dip in plain mayo instead of ketchup. Now I can have fancy mayo:) I’ve heard people in Brussels and Amsterdam dip in mayo too:)
Mayo sometimes gets a bad rap, but I’m a mayo lover. Now with the types made with Olive Oil I don’t feel guilty anymore. lol
