Truffle Parmesan Tots
There’s a restaurant in town that I’m absolutely in LOVE with and every time I go, I order the truffle parmesan fries.
But guys, it’s a little pricey.
And I need my truffle fix more than a couple times a year!
One of my family’s staple sides is the humble tater tot. So crispy, so good. I just knew I could recreate that restaurant dish and maybe even improve upon it!
In this post, I’ll show you how to make parmesan truffle tots with just 4 ingredients and 2 minutes of hands-on time!
You could also make these with french fries. Alexia makes my favs and would be amazing in this recipe.
This is barely a recipe — it’s more like a method. Or a food hack.
Either way, this copycat recipe checks all the boxes for the perfect:
- simple side dish,
- elevated appetizer,
- or savory snack.
This is my secret ingredient:
White truffle oil can be a pricey ingredient but it’s incredibly versatile. I use it on salads and pasta too. So good.
If you have trouble finding truffle oil at your local grocery store, Amazon stocks it for a reasonable price and I’ve also had luck finding various brands at HomeGoods!
Give this a try next time you’re craving something crispy and savory!
