Equipment

  • Air Fryer or Fryer

Ingredients

  • 16 oz frozen fries - I like McCain Quick Cook
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tbsp shredded parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp Truff Black Truffle Oil
  • 1 tsp super fine popcorn salt

Instructions

  • Cook the Fries — Cook the fries according to package directions using your preferred method. Air fryer set to 400°F for 15-18 minutes, shaking halfway through, gives you maximum crispiness without the oil. McCain Quick Cook fries are perfect for this.
  • Salt While Hot — Transfer the hot fries to a large bowl immediately after cooking. Toss with the super fine salt. Use popcorn salt, not regular table salt. It coats evenly without oversalting and gives every bite the same flavor punch.
  • Add the Toppings — Add the chopped parsley, shredded parmesan cheese, and truffle oil. Toss everything together until the fries are evenly coated. Make sure you're using good truffle oil.
  • Serve — Eat immediately while the fries are still crispy and hot. Serve as a side dish or eat straight from the bowl.

NOTES

  • Air Fryer: The Ninja Air Fryer works great for maximum crispiness
  • Truffle Oil: Use Truff Black Truffle Oil. Cheap truffle oil will ruin the dish.
  • Salt Type: Morton Popcorn Salt is essential. Fine enough to coat evenly for consistent seasoning.
  • McCain Fries: These are specifically designed for air fryers and cook more evenly than other frozen brands.
