Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized potatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- Oil for frying
- Fresh herbs for garnish
Instructions
1. Start by peeling and grating the potatoes. Squeeze out any excess moisture from the grated potatoes using a clean kitchen towel.
2. In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, shredded cheese, flour, egg, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix until well incorporated.
3. Shape the potato-cheese mixture into finger-sized sticks or logs.
4. Heat oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat until hot. Fry the potato sticks until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
5. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve hot.
Notes
Opt for starchy potato varieties like Russet or Yukon Gold for best results.
Experiment with different cheeses like Gruyère or Gouda for unique flavors.
Fry in small batches to maintain oil temperature.
Adjust seasoning to personal taste preferences.
