Hungarian Cheese Bites (Printable Version)
# What You’ll Need:
01 -
1 cup plain breadcrumbs
02 -
1/2 tsp garlic powder
03 -
2 cups mashed potatoes (around 3 medium ones, cooked and mashed)
04 -
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
05 -
1/4 cup chopped green onions
06 -
2 large eggs
07 -
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
08 -
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
09 -
Salt and black pepper as needed
10 -
Vegetable or canola oil for frying
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Toss mashed potatoes, grated Parmesan, cheddar, flour, one egg, onion bits (if you’re adding them), garlic powder, salt, and pepper into a large bowl. Stir it all together until you get a dough that sticks together.
02 -
Spread some flour on a clean surface. Take pieces of dough and roll them into logs that are about 1 inch thick and 3 inches long.
03 -
Crack the second egg into a bowl and beat it. Put the breadcrumbs into another bowl nearby.
04 -
Take each log and dip it in the beaten egg. Then roll it around in the breadcrumbs so it’s coated all over.
05 -
Pour about an inch of oil into a large pan and heat it up on medium.
06 -
Drop a few sticks into the hot pan at a time. Let them fry for 2–3 minutes per side, flipping them once they’re golden. Don’t pack too many in at once.
07 -
Lay the fried sticks on paper towels to drain the extra oil. Serve them while they’re warm.
