Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Potato Mixture
- Mash the boiled potatoes in a large bowl until smooth.
- Add mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and forms a dough-like consistency.
Step 2: Shape the Sticks
- Divide the mixture into small portions.
- Roll each portion into a long stick shape, about 4-5 inches in length.
- Place the sticks on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.
Step 3: Fry the Sticks
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or skillet over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully add the potato sticks in batches.
- Fry until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch.
- Remove the sticks with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Step 4: Serve
- Serve the cheesy potato sticks hot with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ketchup, ranch, or spicy mayo.
Tips for Success
- Consistency: If the mixture feels too sticky, add a little more cornstarch until it’s manageable.
- Cheese Options: Swap mozzarella for cheddar or any meltable cheese for a different flavor.
- Crispiness: Ensure the oil is hot enough to get a crispy exterior without soaking up excess oil.
- Baking Option: For a healthier alternative, bake the sticks in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Conclusion
These cheesy potato sticks are a crowd-pleaser that’s both fun to make and eat. Whether you’re hosting a party or just want a quick snack, these golden, cheesy delights will leave everyone asking for more!
