Delight in crispy Potato Cheese Sticks Easy recipe for savory bites perfect for snacks or parties Satisfy your cravings with cheesy goodness
Ingredients
Scale
2 large russet potatoes (about 2 pounds), peeled and cut into sticks
1 cup of shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite blend)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular, for extra crunch)
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
Fill a large pot with water and add a pinch of salt. Bring it to a boil and then add the potato sticks. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until they are just tender but still firm.
Once cooked, drain the potatoes and spread them out on a baking sheet to cool completely. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
In one bowl, place the flour along with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. In a second bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, spread out the breadcrumbs.
Take a cooled potato stick, dip it in the flour mixture, then into the egg, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs.
In a large skillet, pour in enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom (about ½ inch) and heat over medium-high until hot but not smoking.
Carefully add the coated potato sticks to the hot oil and fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the sticks to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Let them cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Deliciously crispy potato cheese sticks that are perfect as snacks or appetizers. Filled with melted cheese and coated in breadcrumbs, these bites are sure to be a crowd favorite.
