Try Our Mashed Potato Fries Recipe! Transform your creamy mashed potatoes into delightful crispy fries. Perfect for snacking or side dishes!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1000g Potatoes
- 1⅓ cup (160g) Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- ½ teaspoon Pepper
- 4 Garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 cup (120g) Cornstarch
- Oregano, Parsley, Coriander, or any fresh/dried herbs of your choice (optional)
Instructions
- Peel and cut the potatoes into small chunks.
- Fill a large pot with water and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Add the potatoes and bring to a boil. Cook until they are fork-tender, which takes about 20 minutes.
- Drain the cooked potatoes and transfer them to a large bowl. Add salt, pepper, oregano, crushed garlic, and shredded cheese. Mash the potatoes into a smooth puree. Then add the cornstarch and mix/mash.
- Transfer the potato mixture into a piping bag fitted with a round tip and pipe it into long strips (on a cutting board or parchment paper). If you don’t have a piping bag, you can also divide the mixture into small balls and roll them into strips.
- In a wide pan, heat oil to 350°F (180°C).
- Fry the mashed potato strips until they are golden brown. Transfer them to paper towels to drain excess oil.
Notes
- You can get creative with your choice of herbs. Oregano, parsley, coriander, or other herbs you enjoy can add extra flavor to your potato fries.
- For a shortcut, you can use pre-shredded cheese, but freshly grated cheese typically melts better and has a more vibrant flavor.
- Make sure the oil is at the correct temperature (350°F or 180°C) before frying to achieve a crispy and golden-brown texture.
- To minimize oil absorption, you can place the fried potato fries on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- These Cheesy Potato Fries are great as a side dish or a tasty snack. Enjoy them with your favorite dipping sauce or condiment.
