Cheesy Potato Fries

My war on food waste continues….


In today’s cost of living crisis, it really has me thinking hard about new ways to “repurpose” left overs in all new types of ways.


Last night, I had way too much mash potato for my liking and I didn’t want to throw it out.


Now, don’t get me wrong, easy reheated mash works for so many people, but for me, it just doesn’t do it… Plus the thought of cold mash makes me feel a little sick (hahaha I promise I’m not precious)

.

So if you ever have lots and lots of mash left over, you must try these potato fries. They will not disappoint.


They are cheesy, crispy, delicious and the whole family inhaled them faster than I could cook them up!


What you need

⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️


2 cups of left over mash (made however you make yours - mine is boiled potatoes, butter and milk)

1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella (But you can use any shredded / grated cheese you fancy - think, Tasty, Colby or even parmesean)

1/4 cup corn flour

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tspn parsley

Add salt and pepper if your mash is under-seasoned.

.

Mix all ingredients in a bowl - place on a parchment paper and add cling film on top.


Then roll out to desired thickness - score lightly and pop in freezer (minimum of 1hrs)


.

Next remove cling film and cut through on your scored lines.

.

Heat vegetable or olive oil and deep fry. Make sure oil is at 170-180°c for frying)

.

Add fries to oil, once golden on one side, flip and ensure both sides are golden - remove and sprinkle with sea salt.

.

TIP - any pieces that break off or are smaller - roll into balls and fry - they become these delicious cheesy pomme noisettes and are freaking amazing!
