Ingredients

2 pounds New or small red potatoes scrubbed

Vegetable oil for frying

Salt to taste

Freshly-ground white pepper to taste

1 tablespoon White truffle oil

1 cup Grated Parmesan Reggiano cheese

Preparation

If you have one, use a mandoline to slice the potatoes paper-thin. Soak the slices in cool water for 30 minutes and drain. Pat dry completely with paper towels.

Preheat the fryer to 360 degrees. Deep-fry the potatoes until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the potatoes to a large mixing bowl and toss with the truffle oil and cheese. Serve immediately.

This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings.
