Potato Cheese Sticks

If you love crispy snacks with a soft, cheesy center, these Potato Cheese Sticks are about to become your new favorite. They’re crunchy on the outside, fluffy inside, and packed with savory cheese flavor in every bite. Perfect for movie nights, tea time, or whenever you need a quick comfort snack

The best part about this recipe is how simple it is. You only need a few basic ingredients, and the dough comes together in minutes. The cornstarch helps create that crispy outer texture, while the mashed potatoes keep everything soft and satisfying.

I also love adding a little black pepper and fresh herbs because it gives the potato sticks extra flavor and makes them taste even more homemade. Once fried until golden brown, they become dangerously addictive especially when served hot with your favorite dipping sauce

Ingredients

3–4 medium potatoes, boiled
40 g grated cheese
1/2 tsp salt
Black pepper, to taste
Chopped coriander or parsley
3–4 tbsp cornstarch
Oil, for frying

Instructions

1. Prepare the Potatoes

Peel and boil the potatoes until soft.
Mash them while still warm until smooth.

2. Make the Dough

Add grated cheese, salt, black pepper, and chopped coriander or parsley into the mashed potatoes.
Mix well.
Add cornstarch gradually until the dough becomes soft but easy to shape.
