🥔 A Brief History of Truffle Fries
While no one knows exactly who invented truffle fries, they became popular in the early 2000s as a luxury twist on classic French fries. Originally featured on fine dining menus, this gourmet fry trend quickly took off and made its way into gastropubs, food trucks, and home kitchens. Most modern versions are topped with truffle oil and Parmesan, but today’s truffle fries come in all styles—and we’re here for all of them.
🍟 Make It From Scratch or Dress Up Frozen Fries
The beauty of these recipes? You can start with fresh-cut potatoes or save time by using store-bought frozen fries. Just bake or air-fry until crispy, then add your favorite Maison F. Crayssac truffle finish. It’s the perfect way to turn leftovers into something spectacular, or elevate a simple side into a centerpiece.
