Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes
- 200 grams cheese (mozzarella or cheddar)
- 100 grams all-purpose flour
- 50 grams cornstarch
- 200 grams bread crumbs
- 2 large egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- as needed oil (for frying)
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into chunks. Boil the potatoes in salted water until soft, about 15–20 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and mash them until smooth. Let them cool slightly.
Mix the mashed potatoes with the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and paprika until a smooth, pliable dough forms.
Cut the cheese into small rectangular blocks, about 1 inch in length and ½ inch in width.
Take a small handful of the potato dough and flatten it in your palm. Place a block of cheese in the center and gently wrap the dough around it, sealing the edges so no cheese is exposed. Shape it into a log or cylinder.
Repeat the process until all the dough and cheese are used up.
Set up your breading station: place the bread crumbs in one bowl, beat the eggs in a second bowl, and leave the potato logs nearby.
Dip each potato log into the beaten egg, then coat it in the bread crumbs. Repeat this dipping process for a double coating to ensure they are extra crispy.
Heat a large pot or deep skillet with oil for frying to about 350°F (175°C).
Fry the logs in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Cook each log for 2–3 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crisp.
Remove the logs from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara or garlic aioli, and enjoy!
