Equipment

  • Dutch oven
  • deep frying thermometer
  • cast iron skillet

Ingredients
  

For the Black Truffle Burgers:

  • 1 pound ground chuck meat
  • ¼ tsp. kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp. black pepper
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 cup black truffle pecorino cheese
  • 2 tbsp. minced parsley
  • 1 large tomato, sliced
  • 4 slices red onion
  • 1 cup baby arugula
  • 4 brioche buns
  • 1 tbsp. butter

For the Black Truffle Aioli:

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp. black truffle oil
  • ¼ tsp. black pepper

For the Black Truffle French Fries:

  • 2 large potatoes
  • 2 cups vegetable oil
  • 1½ cups black truffle pecorino, finely grated
  • 2 tbsp. minced parsley
  • 2 tbsp. black truffle oil
  • ¼ tsp. kosher salt

Instructions
 

For the Black Truffle Burgers:

  • Sprinkle the ground beef with the salt and pepper, and form into 4 patties.
  • Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat, and add the olive oil. When the skillet is very hot, add the burger patties. Cook on both sides to your desired doneness.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt the butter, and toast the insides of the buns.
  • When the burgers are almost done top with some cheese and parsley.
  • Spread some aioli on the buns, and add the burgers, arugula, onion, and tomato.

For the Black Truffle Aioli:

  • In a small bowl, mix all the ingredients together.

For the Black Truffle Fries:

  • Peel the potatoes, and slice them vertically into ¼ inch slices. Cut each of those slices into thin fries. Place all the fries in a large bowl of cold water.
  • In a Dutch oven, heat one inch of oil to 325° using your deep fry thermometer. When the oil reaches that temperature, drain your fries from the water, and using towels, dry them off well.
  • Fry one quarter of the fries, just until they start to turn golden. Drain them on a wire rack, in a small pile. Repeat with the other 3 batches of potatoes.
  • Bring the oil up to 375° and refry the first batch of fries until golden brown. Repeat with the other 3 batches, draining each on the wire rack, and sprinkling each batch with salt right away.
  • Mix the cheese, parsley, and truffle oil in a bowl and toss all the hot fries in there, until they are all coated with cheese.
