Ingredients
- 500 gram / 1 lb potatoes peeled and cut into equal size cubes
- 1 teaspoon salt for boiling or as needed
- ⅓ cup Parmesan Cheese fresh grated
- ¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper or to taste
- 4 tablespoon Potato Starch
- parsley leaves fresh chopped
- 1 tablespoon Potato Starch for dusting
- oil for frying
Instructions
- Peel and cut the potatoes into equal-sized cubes.
- Boil the potatoes in salted water until fork tender.
- Drain the potatoes and mash until no lumps are left.
- Add ground black pepper, parsley, grated cheese, and potato starch. Mix everything well.
- Divide the potato mixture into two portions and shape each into a ball of dough.
- Dust a little potato starch on the work surface or a rolling board, place each dough ball, roll it out to a ½-inch thick rectangle, and cut it into strips.
- Deep-fry the potato strips in hot oil, turning with tongs until they turn golden brown on all sides, doing it in batches for 5-7 minutes.
- Drain the fried mashed potato sticks on a wire rack over a paper towel or baking sheet.
- Serve hot, sprinkled with grated parmesan if desired.
Notes
- Don't overcook the potatoes or let them be too soft.
- Adjust the seasoning of the mashed potatoes to suit your taste preferences.
- Before forming the potato sticks, you can chill the mashed potatoes in the refrigerator for easier handling.
- Avoid cutting the fries too thin, as they may become too delicate and break when frying!
- When frying, use an oil with a high smoke point like sunflower, peanut or canola oil for optimal results.
- Ensure the oil is hot enough before you start frying.
- Fry the potato sticks in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan to prevent a drastic drop in oil temperature.
- Drain the fried mashed potato sticks on a wire rack over a paper towel or baking sheet to avoid sogginess from steam.
