🙋 Recommended for

  • Those who want to try a high-end appetizer salad with a crisp and fresh texture, moving beyond familiar potato dishes.
  • Those who want to experience the synergy of truffle's rich aroma and a clean, refined dressing.

Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • 1-2 potatoes
  • 1 tbsp salt for boiling water
  • A few scallions
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp white balsamic vinegar
  • 3 tbsp truffle oil
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • A pinch of black pepper (10 grinds)
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 anchovy fillet
  • 1/2 tsp minced garlic

Recipe 🍳

  1. Peel the potatoes, slice them thinly with a mandoline, then julienne them as finely and uniformly as possible into noodle-like strands.
  2. Immediately soak the julienned potatoes in an ice bath to remove starch and preserve their crispness.
  3. Prepare the dressing by mixing 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp white balsamic vinegar, 3 tbsp truffle oil, and 3 tbsp olive oil, then add pepper, salt, finely minced anchovy, and garlic.
  4. Add 1 tbsp salt to vigorously boiling water and blanch the prepared potato noodles for exactly 15 seconds. Immediately drain and cool in cold water.
  5. Squeeze the blanched potato noodles dry by hand and use paper towels to remove any remaining moisture.
  6. Spread some of the prepared dressing on the bottom of a serving plate. Lightly toss the potato noodles with the remaining dressing and pile them generously on top.
  7. Garnish the plate by sprinkling finely chopped scallions around the dressing.
  1. Julienne potatoes paper-thin and fine, then soak in ice water.
  2. Mix truffle oil, olive oil, white balsamic vinegar, and honey for the dressing.
  3. Blanch potato noodles in boiling salted water for exactly 15 seconds, then rinse in cold water.
  4. Thoroughly dry the potato noodles with your hands and paper towels.
  5. Plate by spreading dressing, topping with dressed noodles, and garnishing with scallions.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Thicker potato noodles will break easily and look less appealing. Slicing them thinly with care yields the best texture.
  • Over-blanching will result in a mushy texture like boiled potatoes. Ensure you blanch for only about 15 seconds to just heat them through.
  • Completely removing moisture is crucial. This prevents the dressing from sliding off and allows the luxurious truffle flavor and umami to adhere well to the potato noodles.
