Baked Truffle Fries are easy to make at home and are a terrific appetizer for parties or serve as a side dish with steaks or burgers.
Truffle Fries seem to be popping up everywhere. I think they are an acquired taste. I’ve certainly had some “truffled” foods that I could give or take, but Truffle Fries, when done right, they are all right with me, as well as the rest of my family. We all happen to like them, not that we’ve ever met a fry we didn’t like. I decided to make them right at home so we can enjoy them whenever we like. And these are baked, not fried!
Homemade Baked Truffle Fries are easy to make. Hand-cut french fries (skins on) are tossed in vegetable oil and salt, baked, then tossed with truffle oil, parsley, salt and pepper for a flavor merger like no other. Enjoy them warm with a garlic mayo or ketchup. Some prefer one over the other. I like either.
A few Baked Truffle Fries Recipe notes:
- The trick to baking fries is avoiding them sticking to the pan. It’s a challenge to avoid a few fries not sticking to a baking sheet. I’ve baked these on baking sheets lined with baking parchment as well as un-lined. A few fries stick either way. A silicone baking sheet will prevent sticking, but it’s not absolutely necessary. If not using a silicone baking sheet, my tip is to use a metal spatula about 15-20 minutes into baking to carefully slide under the fries, kind of scraping them up to flip.
- Try Truffle Fries with garlic mayo or a homemade ketchup to see what you prefer. I like both!
- A little Truffle oil goes a long way, so look for quality white truffle oil. Adjust the amount to your preference in the recipe below.

I love truffle fries! It seems to be the only thing I make with my truffle oil. Yours look lovely 🙂
I never fry potatoes anymore – Always bake them….I have found that if I soak the fries in cold water for 10-15 minutes – then drain very well & pat dry with a paper towel they tend to crisp better – but isn’t necessary if you’re in a pinch for time. Also, I spray my baking sheet with with PAM, then I toss the fries with olive or canola oil before I spread them on the pan. I rarely have them stick….
