Truffle Fries Food

TRUFFLE FRIES

Steps:

• Fill sink ½ way with cold water. Slice potatoes into 1/4 - 3/8 inch strips. Place cut potatoes directly into cold water. Agitate potatoes to remove dirt and excess starch. Bring 2 quarts of water to a simmer. Add salt and stir to dissolve. Pour salt water into a large container. Add remaining 6 quarts cold water. Transfer potatoes from sink to salted water. Potatoes can be stored in the refrigerator until you are ready to blanch.
• Heat fry oil in fryer to 300 degrees. Shake excess water from potatoes and place in fry basket in batches. Drop into oil and allow to cook for 2 minutes and 15 seconds. Remove from oil and shake aggressively to separate fries. Place cooked fries on a sheet tray and keep cold until ready for final cooking step. Wait for fry oil temperature to return to 300 degrees before continuing with next batch.
• Place 12 oz of Fry Prep in hot fryer until crisp. Drain well. Place drained fries in a metal mixing bowl and toss with grated cheese, truffle oil and salt.
