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

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