🧀 Ingredients
- 3–4 medium golden or russet potatoes
- 8 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded
- ½ cup cornstarch
- Vegetable oil, for frying
🔥 Directions
- Prep the potatoes: Peel and dice the potatoes into small chunks.
- Boil: Place them in a pot of cold water, then bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are soft enough to be pierced easily with a fork.
- Mash: Drain well, then mash until smooth—no lumps left behind!
- Mix: Stir in the shredded mozzarella and cornstarch. Blend everything together until a soft, cheesy dough forms.
- Shape: Transfer the potato mixture into a zip-top bag and flatten it evenly using a rolling pin.
- Chill: Pop the bag in the freezer for about 30 minutes to firm it up — this makes slicing super easy later.
- Cut: Remove from the freezer, peel off the plastic, and slice the flattened potato sheet into stick shapes.
- Fry: Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to 375°F (190°C). Carefully drop in the potato sticks and fry for 2–3 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
- Drain: Use tongs to lift them out and let excess oil drip off on a paper towel–lined plate.
- Serve: Enjoy these cheesy, crispy sticks while they’re warm — perfect with ketchup, spicy mayo, or your favorite dip!
