04 -

→ For Outer Layer
05 -
1 tablespoon rice flour
06 -
1 tablespoon cornflour
# Instructions:
01 -
Take boiled potatoes and mash them until there are no lumps left behind. The smoother they are, the better the texture of your sticks will turn out.
02 -
Add the mashed potatoes, salt, a pinch of pepper, fresh coriander, rice flour, and cornflour. Mix until it's all blended well and looks uniform.
03 -
Either pipe the potato mix into stick shapes on parchment paper using a piping bag, or roll them gently by hand. If it's a bit too soft, you can sprinkle a touch more flour, but be careful not to overdo it!
04 -
Stick them in the freezer for 30 minutes until they feel firm. Heat oil in a deep frying pan and fry them on high heat until they’re golden. Avoid low-temperature frying, or they’ll soak up too much oil and won’t crisp up.
05 -
Once fried, drain the sticks on a wire rack (skip paper towels to keep them crispy). Serve right away with a dip or sauce you like!
# Notes:
01 -
Wrap the sticks tightly in plastic wrap while freezing to keep them fresh.
02 -
To ensure crispiness, fry them briefly in hot oil over medium heat. Don’t fry them at low heat as they’ll soak up too much oil.
03 -
Use a wire rack to drain them post-frying. Paper towels can make them lose their crunch.
