Recipe: Truffle French Fries with Sea Salt

I was feeling very nostalgic the other day. I was sitting on my couch and looking at old pictures and was remembering the days of being a carefree child, then very two delectable words came to mind, French fries. French fries stir up all sorts of memories and senses. I know thats an odd thing to think about but french fries kept creeping into my mind. I guess it reminds me of the smells of ball games, county fairs, and the days of going to McDonalds to buy a Happy meal.
French fries are comforting, they are comfort foods. The way they smell and the taste of popping a warm fresh french fry in your mouth makes even the oldest young at heart.
Now you can probably guess what I did next...yep..I proceeded to make french fries but wanted to make something a little different, a little grown up I guess you can say. So I tried a new french fry recipe that I concocted with my Truffle oil, needless to say my husband and boy gobbled these up fast!
*Here is my little piece of heaven for you to try, I hope you like^^

♡ Truffle French Fries with Sea Salt

10-15 minutes from start to finish with frozen french fries
1 hour and 30 minutes with whole potatoes


❋Ingredients

With the draining spoon slowly scoop up all the fries from the oil and place on paper towel. while still warm with oil sprinkle the desired amount of Truffle oil an sea salt on your fries and toss.


* If you want to make homemade french fries, peel and wash 4 large potatoes.
Slice potatoes into 1/2 X 1/2 inch strips. Let potatoes soak in water for about 1 hour. Let potatoes dry on paper towel or rack for about 5 minutes. Proceed with above steps . Enjoy :)
