Notes

  • Work with completely cold boiled potatoes so the mash stays dry and absorbs the cornstarch or flour evenly.
  • Do not skip the dusting step, because a light coating prevents the dough from sticking to your board.
  • Maintain a steady frying temperature so your Crispy Mashed Potato Sticks cook to a deep golden-brown without greasiness.
  • Avoid over-mixing once the cornstarch or flour is added, which can make the texture gummy rather than tender.
  • Do not crowd the pan, because too many sticks at once will drop the oil temperature and create soggy exteriors.
