Method

  1. 1

    Soak cut fries in cold water 30 minutes. Drain and dry thoroughly.

  2. 2

    Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

  3. 3

    Air fry at 400°F for 16-18 minutes, shaking every 5 minutes, until golden and crispy.

  4. 4

    Immediately toss with truffle oil, Parmesan, and parsley.

  5. 5

    Finish with flaky sea salt. Serve immediately.

Pro tip. Add the truffle oil AFTER cooking — heat destroys its delicate flavor. A little goes a long way; too much truffle oil tastes artificial. Soaking the potatoes removes starch for crispier fries. These must be eaten immediately; they don't reheat well.

Why the air fryer wins here

  • Ready in 18 minutes. The same dish takes about 29 in a conventional oven, plus preheating.
  • Uses a fraction of the oil of deep frying, which is how this comes in at 250 calories a serving.
  • Cleanup is a basket, not a sheet pan and a splattered stovetop.

Storing and reheating

Refrigerate perishable leftovers within 2 hours, or within 1 hour above 90°F. Reheat leftovers to 165°F (74°C) throughout, measured with a food thermometer. USDA leftover safety guidance.

Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes rather than the microwave so the outside crisps back up. See the reheat guide for exact times by food.
