Expensive taste? You're going to love these fancy French fries topped with truffle, champagne and gold dust

World's most expensive fries

Would you pay $270 for a bowl of hot chips?

Attention hot chip connoisseurs and French fry fiends, a New York City restaurant has just been awarded the Guinness World Record for World’s Most Expensive French Fries.

For a truly unique hot chip experience, skip the drive-thru and head to Upper East Side restaurant Serendipity3 for their record-breaking “Creme de la Creme Pommes Frites”.

At a cost of $270, the pricy fries are made from Chipperbeck potatoes, which are first blanched in Dom Perignon Champagne and J. LeBlanc French Champagne Ardenne Vinegar, to lower the starch content and create a crispier fry.

The chips are then twice-cooked in pure French goose fat, then tossed with Guerande truffle salt and Urbani summer truffle oil. To finish, they’re topped with Crete Senesi Pecorino cheese, Italian shaved truffle and 23-carat gold dust.

Forget the ketchup, the fries are served alongside a mornay dipping sauce made from black truffle butter with jersey milk and truffled Swiss gruyere.

The restaurant holds ten other Guinness World Records, including world’s most expensive sandwich, milkshake, and dessert. Add on the fries and you’ve got one seriously bougie lunch.

If you want to try the famous fries, they need to be ordered 48 hours in advance and there’s already a waitlist. So much for those hot chip cravings.
