Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Vegetable or canola oil for frying
Instructions
- Peel and grate the potatoes. Let them sit for 10 minutes to release moisture, then squeeze out excess liquid.
- In a bowl, combine grated potatoes with eggs, flour, salt, and pepper until well mixed.
- Fold in the shredded cheese until evenly distributed.
- Shape the mixture into sticks or patties and coat each piece in panko breadcrumbs.
- Heat about an inch of oil in a deep skillet over medium heat (around 350°F). Test with a breadcrumb; it should sizzle immediately.
- Fry the potato sticks in batches for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels before serving.
