Ingredients
Potatoes and Seasoning
- 1 ½ pounds (680 grams) fingerling potatoes, cut in half lengthwise
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Truffle and Garnish
- 1 tablespoon truffle oil (white truffle oil recommended)
- Sprinkle of truffle salt
- Finely grated Parmesan cheese (to taste)
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
- Zest of 1 lemon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it's hot and ready for roasting the potatoes.
- Prep Potatoes: Wash and halve the fingerling potatoes lengthwise to create a flat surface for roasting.
- Season Potatoes: Place the halved potatoes in a large bowl or directly on a baking sheet. Drizzle with avocado oil, then sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss gently to coat all pieces evenly.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the baking sheet with the cut side facing down. This helps them develop a crispy, golden surface.
- Roast the Potatoes: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender inside and have a crisp, golden bottom side. Timing may vary depending on the size of your potatoes.
- Add Truffle Flavor: As soon as the potatoes come out of the oven, drizzle the truffle oil over them and sprinkle with truffle salt to taste. Gently toss to evenly distribute the truffle flavors.
- Garnish and Serve: Transfer the potatoes to a serving bowl. Sprinkle generously with freshly grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and lemon zest if using. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Feel free to adjust the amount of truffle oil and Parmesan cheese according to your taste preferences.
- Lemon zest is optional but adds a lovely fresh brightness to balance the richness.
- Make sure the potatoes are spread out well on the baking sheet to ensure even roasting and crispiness.
- You can substitute avocado oil with other neutral oils with a high smoke point, such as grapeseed or sunflower oil.
- For a more intense truffle flavor, you can add extra truffle salt or drizzle a little more truffle oil just before serving.
