Time
- Ready in under 30 minutes
Ingredients
- Boiled potatoes (about 2–3 medium potatoes)
- 2 tablespoons flour (plus more as needed)
- Garlic powder
- Olive oil
- Parmesan cheese powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Parsley flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Mash the Potatoes:
After boiling, mash the potatoes until smooth. - Add Seasonings and Cheese:
In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with 2 tablespoons of flour, a sprinkle of garlic powder, parsley flakes (if using), salt, pepper, and a generous amount of Parmesan cheese powder. Mix well until thoroughly combined. - Adjust Texture:
If the mixture feels too sticky, add a little more flour until it forms a workable dough. - Shape into Fries:
Shape the potato mixture into stick-like pieces, resembling fries. Use a knife to cut the dough into individual fry-sized pieces if desired. - Prepare for Cooking:
Drizzle a little olive oil over the fries to help with crisping. - Fry the Potatoes:
Heat a skillet with a little more olive oil. Since the potatoes are already cooked, fry the pieces just until the exterior turns golden brown. - Cool and Drain:
Remove the fries from the skillet and place them on a cooling rack to drain excess oil and cool slightly. - Serve and Enjoy:
Transfer the fries to a serving bowl. The cheesy, savory flavor and aroma make them perfect for dipping in ketchup or enjoying on their own!
Enjoy these crispy, cheesy potato fries as a delicious and fun snack!
