How I Make These Addictive Potato Cheese Sticks
1: Make the Dough
- Mash the boiled potatoes in a large bowl until smooth.
- Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, carrots, celery, and mozzarella. Mix well.
- Stir in cornstarch and 1 tbsp oil. Mix until a soft, smooth dough forms.
2: Shape the Sticks
- Roll the dough between two sheets of parchment paper into a thin rectangle (about 1/4 inch thick).
- Cut into uniform strips using a knife or pizza cutter.
- Gently roll each strip into a rounded stick shape (as shown in the image).
3: Bake or Air Fry
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), or air fryer to 360°F (180°C).
- Place sticks on a parchment lined tray or air fryer basket without overlapping.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or air fry for 10-12 minutes, until golden and crisp.
4: Make the Cheese Sauce
- In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute.
- Slowly whisk in milk until smooth. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened.
- Add cheddar and spicy sauce, stir until melted and creamy. Remove from heat.
5: Serve and Dip!
- Transfer the potato sticks to a serving plate and serve hot with warm cheese dip on the side.
