Ingredients

  • 1 lbs. potatoes Russet or golden potatoes
  • ½ cup corn starch
  • ½ cup shredded cheese
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Go ahead and peel and wash your potatoes, then dice them into medium pieces.
  • Cook the potatoes in boiling water for about 12-15 minutes, or until they are fully cooked.
  • Remove them from the pot and let them drain - until all water is drained.
  • Then mash your potatoes by pushing them through a strainer.
  • Add the cornstarch, cheese, and a pinch of salt to the mashed potatoes and mix everything together until your mashed potatoes mixture is well combined.
  • Place the mashed potatoes in a Ziplock bag and flatten the mashed potatoes with a rolling pin, then freeze them for about an hour.
  • Carefully cut open the Ziplock bag to keep the mashed potatoes intact.
  • Cut your mashed potatoes sticks by cutting them in half first, and then smaller sticks.
  • Heat a pan with at least 1 inch of oil and wait until it has reached 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Once your oil is hot, fry your potato cheese sticks in batches for about 2-3 minutes. Make sure your pan is not too crowded.
  • Place them on a plate with kitchen towel, so it will absorb most oil.
  • Serve while hot with your favorite dip sauce.
