  • Truffle Parmesan Fries with Cannabis Olive Oil

    Truffle Parmesan Fries with Cannabis Olive Oil

    There is more to edibles than gummies, brownies, and butter. Oh my dear reader, the gastronomic misadventures we will have…

    Right. So, the truffle oil makes it all high-class and edgy and stuff. Really, the carbs are a bigger worry than the THC…oh! You know what!? Poutine! This would make an awesome poutine! Fries with cheese curds and gravy? For now, just do the fries.

    Ingredients
    1 lb (450 g) russet potatoes, cut into fries
    2 tbsp (30 mL) cannabis-infused olive oil
    1 tbsp (15 mL) truffle oil
    ¼ cup (60 mL) grated Parmesan
    ½ tsp (2.5 mL) sea salt or Kosher salt (you want coarse and gritty salt with big crystals)
    ½ tsp (2.5 mL) black pepper
    1 tbsp (15 mL) chopped parsley


    Instructions
    Preheat oven to 425 F (220 C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    Toss fries with cannabis olive oil, salt and pepper. Spread in a single layer.
    Bake for 30–35 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
    Remove from oven, drizzle with truffle oil and sprinkle with Parmesan and parsley.
    Serve immediately.


    Chef Notes
    If you’re going to use a knife, cut the fries batonnet, sticks about ½ inch × ½ inch × 2½-3 inches. Alternatively, you can use a mandolin or a fry punch.
    Pro tip: Blanch the fries first! Blanch by immersion in boiling water for a few minutes, then shock them immediately in an ice bath. They’ll cook better. Trust me.
