  • Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
 
To Reheat:
  • Oven/Air fryer: 375°F for 6–8 minutes until crispy.

💡 Pro Tips for Perfect Truffle Fries

  • Double fry for crispiness – The first fry cooks them through; the second gives that iconic crunch.
  • Use fresh oil for best flavor and even frying.
  • Don’t overdo the truffle oil – A little goes a long way!
  • Serve immediately – Truffle fries are best enjoyed hot and freshly dressed.
  • Want extra luxury? Finish with grated Parmesan, parsley, or a squeeze of lemon.
