Ingredients
Potatoes
- 1 ½ pounds (680 grams) fingerling potatoes, cut in half lengthwise
Seasoning and Oil
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon truffle oil (white truffle oil preferred)
- Sprinkle of truffle salt
Garnishes
- 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 enough for roasting the potatoes to a golden crisp.
- Prep potatoes for roasting: Place the halved fingerling potatoes on a baking sheet. Drizzle the avocado oil over them, then sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated with oil and seasonings.
- Arrange potatoes: Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the baking sheet with the cut side facing down. This will help the cut side get beautifully crispy during roasting.
- Roast: Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until they are tender on the inside and have developed a golden, crispy bottom on the cut side. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on the size of your potatoes.
- Toss with truffle flavors: As soon as the potatoes come out of the oven, drizzle the truffle oil over them along with a sprinkle of truffle salt to taste. Gently toss the potatoes to coat them evenly in the rich truffle flavors, then transfer to a serving bowl.
- Add the finishing touches: Sprinkle the roasted potatoes with finely grated parmesan cheese, chopped fresh parsley, and lemon zest if using. Serve immediately to enjoy the full flavor and texture at their best.
Notes
- Use white truffle oil for a more delicate and aromatic flavor, but black truffle oil works as an alternative.
- Be careful not to overdose on truffle oil as its flavor can be quite strong; start with a tablespoon and adjust to taste.
- The lemon zest is optional but adds a nice brightness and contrast to the earthy truffle and parmesan flavors.
- For a crispier finish, ensure potatoes are spread out without overlapping on the baking sheet.
- These potatoes are best served immediately but can be reheated gently if needed.
