Notes
For a healthier option, try using sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes.
Spice things up by adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the oil mixture.
You can also add a drizzle of balsamic glaze on top of the Parmesan truffle topping for added flavor.
If you don't have truffle oil, you can substitute it with 2 tablespoons of melted butter mixed with 1 teaspoon of truffle salt.
For a vegetarian version, use vegan Parmesan cheese.
