Crunchy Potato Sticks (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Key Ingredients
01 -
3 medium-sized potatoes (roughly 290g), already boiled
02 -
Tiny sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper
03 -
A pinch of salt, or more if you'd like
04 -
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
→ Outer Coating
05 -
1 tablespoon of rice flour
06 -
1 tablespoon of cornstarch
# Instructions:
01 -
Smash those boiled potatoes until they're super smooth. No chunks at all—just nice and creamy for the right texture.
02 -
Mix the smooth potatoes with salt, pepper, chopped coriander, rice flour, and cornflour. Stir it all up until it’s blended and even.
03 -
Use a piping bag to squeeze out long potato sticks onto parchment paper. If the mix feels too squishy, sprinkle in a little more flour. Shaping by hand works too, but piping’s quicker and neater!
04 -
Stick ’em in the freezer for half an hour to firm up. Then fry them in hot oil until they're crispy and golden. Keep the oil hot—cold oil makes greasy snacks!
05 -
Set them on a cooling rack (skip the paper towels to avoid sogginess) and enjoy while warm. Great with dips like ketchup!
# Notes:
01 -
Wrap tightly in plastic wrap before freezing to keep the mixture fresh
02 -
Frying at a high temperature on medium heat works best—cold oil makes them soak up too much oil
03 -
Cool fried sticks on a rack to keep them crispy, not soggy
