Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into the desired stick shape.
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potato sticks and cook for about 5-7 minutes until slightly tender but still firm. Drain and let them cool.
- In one bowl, mix the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper; in another bowl, have the beaten eggs ready; and in a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.
Coating and Frying
- Take one potato stick, dip it into the flour mixture, then the egg, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs.
- In a deep frying pan, heat about an inch of vegetable oil on medium-high heat.
- Carefully add the breaded potato sticks to the hot oil in batches. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy.
- Once cooked, place the sticks on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Finishing Touches
- After frying, create a slit in the center of each potato stick and add a generous amount of cheese.
- Allow them to sit for a minute to let the cheese melt slightly.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them as is!
Notes
For extra crunch, consider double-coating the potato sticks in flour and breadcrumbs. If using leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
