Shopping List

Russet potatoes, 2x

Canola oil, 2 tbsp

Balinese Truffle Salt, to taste

Hardwood smoked bacon, 6 oz

Aged cheddar cheese, 4 oz

Scallions, 1/2 bunch

Sour Cream, 1/2 cup

Prep

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
  2. Wash and cut the potato into quarters lengthwise, then slice each quarter to make 3 steak fries.
  3. Transfer to a mixing bowl along with 2 tablespoons of canola oil and a pinch of Balinese Truffle Salt. Toss to coat.

How to cook

  1. Spray one lined sheet tray with pan spray. Line the steak fries on the trays, leaving space between each fry.
  2. Transfer to the oven to bake, rotating every 15 minutes, until cooked through and crispy, about 45 minutes in total.
  3. Lay the bacon on the second sheet tray and cook for 15 minutes or until crispy. Reserve on paper towels once crispy
  4. Grate the cheese and slice the scallions. Once the scallions are sliced, plunge them into ice water so they curl
  5. When the fries are done, plate them up loaded fashion, with sour cream, crumbled bacon, scallions, cheddar cheese, and a sprinkle of Balinese Truffle Salt.
