Side Dish - Parmesan Truffle Fries
Let me start off by saying I have NEVER met anyone that didnt like french fries. If you are one of those people that dont then leave my website immediately because you should be ashamed. Now, Im not saying theyre healthy and that I eat them all the time, but as a treat nothing beats a good french fry. Well, this is my kicked up version. I love anything with truffle oil on it because it takes an ordinary dish and makes it really special. I love serving these fries with a really nice steak and a glass of red wine. Ladies- do you want to really impress your man? Make this dish!
