Crispy potato sticks: Elevate your party snack game

Potatoes are one of our treasures and a true chameleon in the kitchen. They can be used not only to make purée, cutlets, or chips but also delicious sticks in a crispy coating. They are irresistible and always disappear first at parties. This recipe is perfect for when you have leftover potatoes from the previous day. They'll quickly gain a new, delicious, and crispy life.

This is really simple. Just grab some potatoes and starch, and season with salt and pepper. You can also season with sweet or hot paprika and Herbes de Provence if you're a fan of bold flavours. A moment of waiting for them to freeze, then a moment of frying, and you can indulge.

Ingredients:

• 1 kg of cooked potatoes,
• salt and pepper to taste,
• 2 tablespoons of potato starch,
• oil for frying,
• ketchup for drizzling,
• parsley or chives.

Method of preparation:

Step 1. Cook the potatoes in salted water and mash them after cooking. You can also use leftovers from the previous day.

Step 2. Add potato starch, salt, and pepper, and mix.

Step 3. Transfer the mixture to a large zip-lock bag, flatten it, seal, and place it in the freezer for 2 hours.

Step 4. After this time, take out the mixture by cutting the bag. Place it on a cutting board and cut into sticks.

Step 5. Fry the sticks in hot, deep oil until they start to brown. Place them on paper towels to remove excess oil. Drizzle with ketchup and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Enjoy!
