Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 large potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ¼ cup milk
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare Potatoes: Peel the potatoes and boil them in salted water until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes.
  2. Mash Potatoes: Drain the potatoes and mash them thoroughly with butter, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
  3. Shape Fries: Take portions of mashed potatoes and form them into fry-sized sticks, ensuring they hold their shape well.
  4. Coat Fries: Roll each mashed potato fry in breadcrumbs, pressing gently to coat evenly for a crispy exterior.
  5. Fry Fries: Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry the coated fries in batches until they turn golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes per batch.
  6. Drain and Serve: Remove fries from oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add garlic powder, onion powder, or chopped herbs like parsley to the mashed potatoes before shaping.
  • Ensure the mashed potatoes are cooled slightly before shaping to maintain firmness.
  • Use panko breadcrumbs for an even crunchier texture.
  • Serve with ketchup, ranch dressing, or aioli for dipping.
