Description
Crispy on the outside and soft, cheesy, and savory on the inside—these Kartoffel Käse Sticks combine mashed potatoes with cheese and seasonings, shaped into sticks and fried until golden.
Ingredients
- 2 cups mashed potatoes
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella or Emmental cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan

- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together the mashed potatoes, mozzarella, Parmesan, egg, flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until a thick dough forms.

- Roll each stick in breadcrumbs until fully coated.
- Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C).
