Garlic and Truffle Oven Fries

As you all know I recently received a lovely set of Balsamic Vinegars and Olive Oils from  Vom Fass.  They came in a lovely wooden box and tied up with a pretty yellow ribbon.  

  

Included in the box was a small bottle of White Truffle infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Italy.  Their White Truffle Extra Virgin Olive Oil is an elegant finishing oil, with a deep, earthy aroma, and a full taste to match. They have used a blend of white and black truffles to create a complex web of flavour, with delicate hints of garlic and mushroom.   I decided to use it to make some oven chips to go along with some steaks I was cooking the other night. 



I guess you could call these gourmet oven chips!  Infused with the lovely flavours of garlic and truffles and black pepper  . . .



So simple to make too.   You will want to use a nice baking potato for these.   They are about the right size and have the perfect consistency when cooked.



I like to keep mine a little bit chunky and I keep the peels on, but do feel free to peel the potato if you aren't fond of the crispy goodness of deliciously moreish potato skins.   To me . . .  the skin is the best part!  I love em!



There is just enough garlic in these to add a hint of flavour, without it being overpowering.  You want the flavour of the truffle oil to shine through.  So delicious.  Earthy, and woodsey . . . the perfect accompaniment to our delicious steaks.    Heavenly bliss.
