These Crispy Potato Cheese Sticks Are What Snack Dreams Are Made Of

Step 1

Start by bringing a pot of water to a boil.

Step 2

Peel and wash the potatoes. Dice them into medium cubes.

Step 3

Cook the potatoes in boiling water for about 12-15 minutes or until fully cooked. Remove them from the pot and let them drain until all water is drained.

Step 4

Mash the cooked potatoes by pushing them through a strainer.

Step 5

Add the cornstarch, cheese, and salt to the mashed potatoes and mix until well combined, forming a dough.

Step 6

Place the mashed potatoes in a Ziplock bag and flatten the mashed potatoes with a rolling pin, and freeze for about 1 hour.

Step 7

Carefully cut open the Ziplock bag to keep the mashed potatoes intact. Cut the potato dough in half first, then into smaller sticks.

Step 8

Heat a pan with at least 1 inch of oil and wait until it has reached 350℉.

Step 9

Once your oil is hot, fry the potato cheese sticks in batches for 2-3 minutes or until golden. Make sure the pan is not too crowded. Place them on a plate with a kitchen towel.

Step 10

Serve while hot with your favorite dip sauce.
