Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium yellow potatoes
  • 1 tsp salt

  • Vegetable Oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare Potatoes: Start by peeling and chopping medium yellow potatoes into small chunks.
  2. Boil Potatoes: Toss the chopped potatoes into a pot of salted boiling water (add 1 tsp salt). Boil for 15-20 minutes until tender.
  3. Mash Potatoes: Once tender, drain the hot potatoes and mash them until finely smooth.
  4. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add the mashed potatoes, sharp cheddar cheese, and cornstarch. Mix thoroughly.
  5. Form Dough: Divide the mixture in half, place in bags and flatten.
  6. Freeze Dough: Place the bags in the freezer for about 20 minutes.
  7. Cut Strips: Cut the seams of the bags and slice the dough into strips.
  8. Freeze Strips: Return cut potato strips to the freezer for another 20 minutes.
  9. Fry: Heat vegetable oil to 350°F and fry the strips for 3-4 minutes.
  10. Serve: Transfer fried sticks onto a wire rack to cool and serve hot.

Notes

  • Oil Temperature Matters: Ensure oil is heated to 350°F before frying.
  • Chill for Best Shape: Freezing the dough is essential.
  • Avoid Overcrowding: Fry in small batches to ensure even cooking.
  • Cheese Choice Counts: Always use sharp cheddar for better flavor.
  • Dry Potatoes Well: Eliminate excess moisture after boiling.
