The restaurant at which I had lunch yesterday served fries with truffle oil and Himalayan pink salt. I didn't order any, but I was definitely inspired-- truffle oil and Himalayan salt are definitely two of my favorite cooking ingredients of late. I got the salt from the bulk bin at Whole Foods, and highly recommend it - not only for it's incredible taste, but for it's health benefits. Yes, salt can be good for you!
Today's dreary weather called for a little comfort food, and I just happened to have a bag of Ore-Ida "tater rounds" in the freezer. Toss in a little truffle oil (I use La Tourangelle) and pink salt and bake and you get the hands-down BEST tater tots you ever tasted. I mean holy moly. I ate about 20 of them in five minutes.
The salt and truffle oil are pricey, but once you invest in them, you can use them in a variety of dishes. The cost of the tots is negligible, so if you have the other ingredients in stock this becomes an easy, crazy affordable, craaaazy delicious indulgence.
See ya 'tater!
