The process of making potato sticks

It is necessary to prepare 750 gr. peeled potatoes and boil them in 1 liter of water. If it is large, then it is better to cut the tubers into pieces to speed up cooking. The finished potatoes need to be crushed into puree. Salt, thyme, black pepper, chopped parsley and grated cheese are added to it. The mass is kneaded, after which starch is poured into it. It is not added before, since it will not distribute the spices evenly. After the second mixing, the seasoned and starch-fortified puree is scooped up little by little and rolled into sticks. Some of them can be placed on a baking sheet with parchment paper to bake. On top they are greased with a mixture of vegetable oil and red pepper. The sticks are baked for 35-40 minutes at a temperature of 180°C. The remaining sticks can be fried in a frying pan in oil. To do this, set the burner to high heat. The sticks fry very quickly, since essentially all the ingredients are already ready from the start, all you need is a crispy crust. Cook them both ways for the first time to determine which you like best.
