Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 1 h

Step 1:
How to make potato sticks with cheese? Prepare the ingredients. Pre-wash the potatoes well under running water with a brush. You can use any cheese for this snack, but I prefer more stringy varieties, for example, mozzarella (not pickled, but for pizza).
Step 2:
Boil the potatoes in the peel until tender. How to cook potatoes in a uniform? Put the clean tubers in a saucepan with cold water, put on medium heat. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat. Cook the potatoes for 25-30 minutes, depending on the size of the tubers. Check readiness with a sharp knife — it will easily pierce the potato. Drain the water, cool the potatoes slightly and peel.
Step 3:
Grate the cooled potatoes on a coarse grater. You can just pound it with a pusher.
Step 4:
Add salt and pepper to the grated potatoes. Stir the mixture until smooth.
Step 5:
Cut the cheese into rectangular cubes. The bars should not be very long.
Step 6:
Wash the egg and break it into a bowl. Be sure to wash the eggs before use, as even the seemingly clean shell may contain harmful bacteria. It is best to use food detergents and a brush. Beat the egg until smooth.
Step 7:
Make small tortillas from the potato mass. Put a piece of cheese in the middle.
Step 8:
Form potato sticks, sticking cheese on all sides. The sticks must be whole, without breaks, otherwise, when frying, the cheese will melt and flow into the gaps.
Step 9:
Dip each stick in an egg, then roll in breadcrumbs.
Step 10:
Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat and fry potato sticks on it from all sides until golden brown. Or you can pour more vegetable oil into a deep saucepan and deep fry the sticks. Place the finished sticks on a platter. To remove excess fat, cover the dish with paper towels.
Step 11:
You get these ruddy golden cards with a crispy crust and a soft filling under it. Serve them as a snack with any sauce to taste. Bon appetit!

This dish is suitable as an appetizer for beer. They are eaten quickly and imperceptibly, like seeds.
Cheese cubes can be rolled in a mixture of ground paprika and hot chili (on the tip of a knife). This will give the dish a piquancy, which is what you need for a beer snack.

Use oil with a high smoking temperature for frying! Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.
Unrefined oils, with rare exceptions, have a low smoking point. There are a lot of unfiltered organic particles in them, which quickly begin to burn.
Refined oils are more resistant to heating, and their smoking point is higher. If you are going to cook food in the oven, on a frying pan or grill, make sure that you use oil with a high smoking point. The most common of the oils with a high smoking point: refined varieties of sunflower, olive and grape.

You can check whether the oil has warmed up well enough in the pan in a simple way. Lower a wooden spatula into it. If bubbles have gathered around it, then you can start the frying process.

Any cheese is suitable for this dish — hard, semi-hard, soft, like mozzarella. The main thing is that it is delicious, high-quality, without milk fat substitutes and melts well.
