Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make potato sticks with cheese? Prepare your ingredients. First wash the potatoes well under running water with a brush. You can use any cheese for this snack, but I prefer more stringy varieties, for example, mozzarella (not pickled, but for pizza).

Step 2

Step 2
Boil the potatoes in their skins until tender. How to boil jacket potatoes? Place clean tubers in a saucepan of cold water over medium heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat. Boil the potatoes for 25-30 minutes, depending on the size of the tubers. Check readiness with a sharp knife — it will easily pierce the potato. Drain the water, cool the potatoes slightly and peel.

Step 3

Step 3
Grate the cooled potatoes on a coarse grater. You can simply crush it with a masher.

Step 4

Step 4
Add salt and pepper to the grated potatoes. Stir the mixture until smooth.

Step 5

Step 5
Cut the cheese into rectangular cubes. The bars should not be very long.

Step 6

Step 6
Wash the egg and break it into a bowl. Be sure to wash your eggs before using them, as even seemingly clean shells can harbor harmful bacteria. It is best to use food grade detergents and a brush. Beat the egg until smooth.

Step 7

Step 7
Make small cakes from the potato mixture. Place a block of cheese in the middle.

Step 8

Step 8
Form the potatoes into sticks, covering the cheese on all sides. The sticks must be solid, without breaks, otherwise when frying the cheese will melt and leak into the gaps.

Step 9

Step 9
Dip each stick in the egg, then roll in breadcrumbs.

Step 10

Step 10
Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat and fry potato sticks on all sides until golden brown. Or you can pour more vegetable oil into a deep saucepan and deep-fry the sticks. Place the finished sticks on a plate. To remove excess grease, line the dish with paper towels.
