This is a great recipe that dresses plain fries with surprising and flavorful ingredients that is sure to impress any dinner guest. Despite these fries looking very gourmet, they're actually made using [frozen French fries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skinon-fries) meaning that you can easily make a batch in a pinch to serve with burgers, steak or on their own. The fries are baked till golden and then dressed with [freshly grated parmesan cheese](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trader-joes-butter-with-parmesan-garlic-herb) and diced rosemary. In place of ketchup, these frites are served with a homemade truffle oil dip infused with greek yogurt, garlic, lemon and pepper. These fries showcase how a pre-made food can easily be made upscale with the inclusion of fresh ingredients. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Gourmet Fast Food:** Innovative ways of transforming fast food dishes into high-end, upscale products by using premium ingredients without sacrificing the convenience and speed of ordering. - **Homemade Dips and Sauces:** Creative and easy-to-make handmade dips and sauces that enhance the flavors of traditional dishes and elevate the dining experience. - **Premium Frozen Food:** Elevating pre-made frozen food products by adding premium and fresh ingredients to create gourmet dishes in a short amount of time. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** High-end restaurants and fast food chains can innovate by offering menu items that highlight premium ingredients and unique flavor combinations. - **Frozen Food:** Frozen food manufacturers can expand their product offerings by incorporating premium ingredients and marketing their products as quick and easy gourmet meals. - **Home Cooking and Meal Kits:** Meal kit delivery services and recipe websites can provide customers with easy-to-make gourmet dishes and homemade sauces that can elevate their cooking skills and dining experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Air-Fried French Fries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-fried-french-fries.md) - [Elevated Truffle Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tycoon-burger.md) - [Colorful Root Veggie Fries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/root-vegetable-fries.md) - [Luxe Fast Food Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-truffle-table.md) - [Truffle-Infused Ranch Dressings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/truffle-ranch-dressing.md) - [Tangy Truffle Honey Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-seor-frenchie.md) - [Enhanced Superfood Fries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-fries.md) - [Rippled Air-Fried Side Dishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ripple-fries.md) - [Garlicky Beef-Topped Fries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buttery-garlic-parmesan-carne-asada-fries.md)
