How to Make Crispy Potato Sticks
-
Prep the potatoes
Peel and cut potatoes into large chunks. Boil until soft, then drain and mash into a smooth paste. -
Mix the dough
Add cornstarch, sugar, and a pinch of salt to the mashed potato. Stir until fully combined and smooth. Fold in chopped coriander if using. -
Shape & chill
Spread the mixture onto parchment paper, cover with another sheet and press flat to an even thickness. Freeze for about 10 minutes to firm up. -
Cut into sticks
Remove from freezer and slice into thick potato sticks. -
Fry until golden
Heat oil to frying temperature and fry the sticks over medium heat for 15–20 minutes until golden and crispy on all sides. Drain on paper towel.
Serve hot. These are great with ketchup, mayo, or a garlicky dip — enjoy!
Ultra Crispy Potato Sticks – Q&A
1. Why are these potato sticks so crispy?
Because the mix of mashed potato + cornstarch creates a crunchy outer layer while keeping the inside soft.
2. Can I air-fry them instead of deep-fry?
Yes! Brush lightly with oil and air-fry at 180°C for 12–15 minutes. Still crispy and delicious.
3. Will they stay crispy after cooling?
They’re best hot, but stay crisp for a while thanks to the starch. Re-crisp by air-frying 2–3 minutes.
4. Can I add extra flavors?
Absolutely—try chili powder, garlic powder, cheese seasoning, paprika, seaweed flakes, or BBQ spice.
5. Why do I have to freeze the dough first?
Freezing helps the dough firm up so it cuts clean and fries without breaking apart.
Your crispy potato fries are ready! They’re crunchy, fragrant, lightly sweet, and totally addictive. Dip them in ketchup, mayo, cheese sauce — or enjoy them plain. They’re that good.
