Ingredients
Units
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 large Russet potatoes
Cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Flour
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Eggs
- 2 large eggs
Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Begin by peeling and grating the potatoes. After grating, squeeze out any excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel. This step is crucial to achieving the perfect crispy texture.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, cheese, flour, eggs, and seasoning. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is sticky.
- Form the Sticks: Using your hands, take small portions of the mixture and shape them into sticks or logs. Aim for a uniform size to ensure even cooking.
- Heat the Oil: In a deep frying pan, heat oil over medium heat. You want enough oil to submerge the sticks halfway for even frying.
- Fry the Sticks: Carefully place the potato cheese sticks in the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side.
- Drain and Serve: Once cooked, remove the Crispy Hungarian Potato Cheese Sticks and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces!
Notes
- Use starchy potatoes for the best texture.
- Don’t skip the drying step to achieve crispiness.
- Fry in batches to maintain oil temperature.
- Experiment with different cheese types for varied flavors.
- Serve immediately for the best experience.
