How To Make Cheesecake Factory Copycat Parmesan Truffle Fries

Cut russet potatoes tossed in olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl, evenly coated and ready for cooking.

Step One: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220°C), or your air fryer to 400 degrees F (200°C).

Step Two: Wash, peel (optional), and cut the russet potatoes into thin, even fries.

Step Three: In a large bowl, combine the cut potatoes with olive oil, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.

Cut potatoes arranged in a single layer in an air fryer basket, cooking for 15–20 minutes until golden and crispy, shaken halfway through.

Step Four:

  • Oven method: Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  • Air fryer method: Place the fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 15–20 minutes, shaking halfway through, until crispy and golden.

Step Five: Once the fries are cooked, toss them immediately with minced garlic and grated Parmesan cheese while they’re still hot so the flavors meld. Lightly drizzle truffle oil over the fries, tossing gently to coat evenly. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top for color and freshness. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.

Cheesecake Factory Copycat Parmesan Truffle Fries Recipe Tips

  • Use Russet Potatoes – Their high starch content ensures fries are crispy on the outside and fluffy inside.
  • Cut Evenly – Slice fries to uniform thickness for consistent cooking.
  • Don’t Overcrowd – Spread fries in a single layer in the oven or air fryer for even crispiness.
  • Add Parmesan and Garlic While Hot – Toss fries immediately after cooking so the cheese melts and garlic flavor infuses.
  • Drizzle Truffle Oil Last – Add truffle oil at the end to preserve its aromatic, earthy flavor.
  • Garnish with Fresh Parsley – Adds color, freshness, and a mild herbal note.

Storing, Freezing & Reheating Instructions

  • Storing: Store leftover fries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.
  • Freezing & Reheating: Freeze cooked fries in a freezer-safe container for up to 1 month. Reheat in a preheated oven or air fryer until hot and crispy, avoiding the microwave to prevent sogginess.

Cheesecake Factory Copycat Parmesan Truffle Fries Recipe FAQs

Can I make these fries in an air fryer instead of the oven? Yes! Air frying at 400°F for 15–20 minutes gives crispy, golden fries with less oil.

Can I use frozen fries? You can, but fresh-cut russet potatoes yield the best texture and flavor for this recipe.

How do I prevent the fries from sticking together? Toss the potatoes in a little oil and spread them in a single layer when cooking, shaking or flipping halfway through.

Can I make these ahead of time? You can prep the potatoes in advance, but add the Parmesan, garlic, truffle oil, and parsley right before serving for maximum flavor.

Can I adjust the truffle flavor? Absolutely! Drizzle more or less truffle oil depending on your taste preference.
