Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Russet potatoes
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon Chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and dice them into small chunks for faster cooking.
Place the potatoes in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
Drain the potatoes and mash them until smooth. Ensure there are no lumps for a creamy texture.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, Parmesan cheese, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, heavy cream, egg yolk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Mix thoroughly until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time.
Transfer the potato dough onto a sheet of parchment paper. Roll the dough into a rectangular block about 1 inch thick.
Place the dough in the refrigerator to chill for 30-45 minutes. This helps firm it up for cutting and frying.
Once chilled, slice the dough into stick shapes approximately 3-4 inches long and 1/2 inch thick.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the potato sticks in small batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
Remove the potato sticks from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving, if desired.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sour cream, ketchup, or garlic aioli.
