What are truffle fries made of?

Truffle fries are made from potatoes, usually Russet, that are cut, cooked until crispy, and tossed in truffle oil. They’re often garnished with Parmesan cheese, herbs, and sometimes garlic.

What's the difference between French fries and truffle fries?

Standard French fries are cooked and salted, while truffle fries are seasoned with truffle oil and gourmet toppings. The flavor is richer and more complex, often described as “earthy” and “umami-packed.”

Why are truffle fries so expensive?

Truffle oil is made from real or synthetic compounds mimicking truffles—a rare and labor-intensive fungus. Even the synthetic version costs more than regular oil, making the final dish pricier.

Which truffle oil is best for fries?

Black truffle oil offers a deeper, stronger flavor and is usually preferred for fries. Look for oils with real truffle infusion instead of just aroma or essence.
