Looking to bring a little luxury to your fries? Whether you’re prepping a party platter, making a weeknight dinner feel special, or just looking for a savory snack, these easy truffle fry recipes are a game-changer. They’re gluten-free, vegetarian (vegan if you skip the cheese), and loaded with gourmet flavor thanks to the Maison F. Crayssac truffle collection—available right here at Savory Farms.
From crispy sweet potatoes to air-fried russets, these fries are the perfect base for bold truffle seasonings like oil, salts, powder, and even ketchup. You can go fully homemade or just elevate store-bought frozen fries with a few easy upgrades.
🍽️ What Are Truffle Fries, and Where Did They Come From?
Truffle fries started showing up on upscale restaurant menus in the early 2000s as a decadent twist on the humble French fry. No one knows exactly who created them first, but they quickly became a gourmet favorite. Most versions include a drizzle of truffle oil and a sprinkle of cheese, but we love mixing things up with different truffle seasonings and bases.
🍟 Make from Scratch or Upgrade Frozen Fries
These recipes work with fresh-cut potatoes or store-bought fries. Simply bake or air-fry, then finish with your favorite Maison F. Crayssac truffle toppings from Savory Farms. It’s a quick and delicious way to level up leftovers, side dishes, or snacks.
