Crispy…savory…delicious! These fries have to be the best fries I have ever cooked. Smoky, savory umami from the truffle oil, amazing flavors contrasting with the parmesan and potato. This goes great with my hangover burger, steak or even by themselves! If you could live on fries and consider yourself the expert of great fries, give this a shot. I promise you wont regret it!
