Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups mashed potatoes (smooth)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Oil for frying or baking
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine your smooth mashed potatoes with flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. If you’re going for that cheesy goodness, add the grated Parmesan cheese now.
- Use your hands or a spoon to form the mashed potato mixture into thin, fry-like shapes.
- In a large frying pan, heat a generous amount of oil over medium heat. Carefully place your shaped fries into the skillet, frying for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crisp.
- Once cooked, remove the fries from the heat and place them on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Serve hot.
Notes
Ensure your mashed potatoes are well-mixed and free of lumps for the best texture. Feel free to get creative with your flavors by adding spices.
