🙋 Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy a potato dish with deep herbal flavors and a sophisticated truffle aroma, instead of ordinary french fries.
  • Those looking for a simple yet visually appealing snack that pairs well with wine or beer.

Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • 10-12 baby potatoes or small potatoes
  • Fresh thyme sprigs, to taste
  • 5-6 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 tablespoon salt
  • Generous amount of black pepper (about 50 twists)
  • Olive oil, enough to cover the potatoes (about 2 cups)
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon truffle sauce (or paste)
  • 1 scallion

Recipe 🍳

  1. Pierce the cleaned potatoes with a fork 7-8 times in various spots to ensure the oil's flavor penetrates deeply into the potatoes.
  2. In a bowl, combine the potatoes with thyme sprigs, garlic cloves smashed with the side of a knife, half a tablespoon of salt, and a generous amount of black pepper. Toss to coat the potatoes evenly.
  3. Transfer the seasoned potatoes, herbs, and garlic to an oven-safe dish. Pour in enough olive oil to completely submerge the potatoes, ensuring none are exposed.
  4. Place in a preheated oven and bake until the potatoes are tender enough to be easily pierced with a fork.
  5. While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the truffle mayo sauce by mixing 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise with 1 tablespoon of truffle sauce and finely chopped scallions.
  6. Once the potatoes are cooked, take out the desired amount and place them on a plate. Using gloved hands or a tool, gently press down on the potatoes to roughly mash them.
  7. Serve the mashed potatoes with a generous dollop of the prepared truffle mayonnaise sauce on the side.
  1. Pierce potatoes with a fork, then toss with salt, pepper, garlic, and thyme.
  2. Submerge potatoes completely in olive oil and slowly bake in the oven.
  3. Mix mayonnaise, truffle sauce, and chopped scallions to make the sauce.
  4. Lightly mash the cooked potatoes and serve with truffle mayo sauce on the side.

Cooking tips 💡

  • The potatoes must be completely submerged in oil; otherwise, they will roast instead of confit. Ensure no part of the potato is exposed above the oil.
  • Cooking time varies depending on potato size. Before removing from the oven, always check for tenderness by piercing the center with a fork.
  • Roughly mashing the potatoes rather than making them completely smooth allows the truffle sauce to seep into the cracks, resulting in a better texture.
