This recipe is sponsored as part of #Cookout Week 2017! I was given free products from The French Farm to develop recipes. As always, all thoughts + opinions are mine and mine alone.
Welcome to our weekly Foodie Friday link up! I’m linking up with Annmarie from the Fit Foodie Mama + Esther from Chocolate Runner Girl to create awesome healthy recipes each week! This week’s theme is Cookout!
Make sure you enter the giveaway this year too!
Whenever I go back to California to visit home/friends/family, I tend to spend the entirety of my Tuesdays in Pleasanton with Bel. Our tradition generally consists of me sitting in on both her morning pole classes followed by lunch at a nearby restaurant.
This is basically how I discovered the existence of truffle fries back in 2011, and I’ve loved em’ ever since. Quite unfortunately, the place we went to for them doesn’t make them anymore (but why!?!), and I vowed to try to make them on my own someday.
Well, now’s the time, m’friends! I’ve finally managed to use the truffle oil that The French Farm sent me to recreate truffle fries (in a healthier way) and they are absolutely delicious!
I actually threw in the purple potatoes on a whim (translation: this is another one of my “let’s clean out the kitchen” recipes), but I love the pretty colors they added to this!

I am a truffle JUNKIE! For real. I have to have them at every meal when we go to Alba (the home of truffles). We brought back a TON of truffle things too – salt, balsamic, olive oil, speck… all of it! That said, clearly I need to make these.

These golden fries look crispy and yummy. I’ve never used truffle oil. EVOO is very good to fry with but, a bit pricey. Looks like you are doing well Farrah. I bet you can’t wait to be done.
