Potatoes are a versatile product that can be used to make many dishes. For example, there is a simple recipe for potato and cheese sticks in breadcrumbs. This nutritious and very tasty snack is unlikely to leave anyone indifferent. The hot cheese in the potato stick spreads, and the breading is pleasantly crunchy. The potatoes are cooked in their skins, after which they are mashed. The sticks are very tender and soft to taste if you choose young potatoes.

How to cook Potato sticks with cheese

Step 1

Prepare potato dough. Boil mashed potatoes. Add eggs, salt, spices, flour to the mashed potatoes and mix until smooth. The dough should be sticky.

Step 2

Form the sticks. Cut the cheese into strips. With wet hands, form a flat cake from the potato dough. Put the cheese in the middle and seal the edges of the flat cake to form a stick. Do this until all the potato dough and cheese are used up. Roll each potato stick in breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Fry the sticks. Fry the sticks on medium heat on both sides for 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Place the sticks on a paper towel to absorb excess fat.

Potato sticks with cheese - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use a different type of cheese for the potato sticks?

Yes, you can substitute the cheese with any melt-friendly variety like mozzarella, cheddar, or pepper jack for different flavors. Just ensure it's cut into strips for easy filling.

How can I make gluten-free potato sticks?

Replace regular flour with a gluten-free flour blend and use gluten-free breadcrumbs to coat the sticks. The texture should remain similar.

Can I bake the potato sticks instead of frying?

Absolutely! Bake them at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown. Lightly brush with oil for crispiness.

How do I store leftover potato sticks?

Store cooled sticks in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer for best texture.

Can I freeze potato sticks before or after frying?

Yes, freeze unbreaded sticks on a tray before transferring to a bag for up to 3 months. Fry or bake from frozen, adding extra time if needed.

What dips pair well with potato sticks?

Try sour cream, garlic aioli, marinara, or spicy ketchup for dipping. A fresh herb yogurt dip also complements the cheesy flavor.

How can I make this recipe lower in carbs?

Reduce flour by half or use almond flour, and skip breadcrumbs. Opt for a high-fat, low-carb cheese like halloumi for filling.

Why is my potato dough too sticky to handle?

Add a bit more flour gradually until manageable, but avoid overmixing. Wetting hands with cold water also helps shape the sticks.
