Ingredients
1kg potatoes (we used Dutch Cream)
Good Olive Oil (2 tablespoons)
Black Truffle Oil (1 tablespoon to add at the end mix through)
Garlic minced (1 teaspoon)
Salt (1 teaspoon)
Pepper (light sprinkle
Thyme or Rosemary (2-3 stems)
Steps for cooking
Heat your oven to 180 degrees
Wash and peel your potatoes, depending on how you like them. Some like to keep them rustic skins on, others peel. For this recipe I peeled and cut long ways to make them more roast potato chip like in appearance. Slice them as you prefer.
Use a good baking tray and add your prepared potatoes, add the salt and pepper and drizzle over with the olive oil.
Cook in the oven for 35minutes, extend the cooking time if you want them a bit more crispy.
Take out of the oven once done and drizzle the black truffle oil over the fries and mix through. You may want to add a little more salt and mix through the fresh herbs or dried herbs that you have.
Enjoy at your Christmas table with family and friends.
