Tips
This recipe will work with any leftover mashed potatoes. We also like to use the Russet potato variety for its starch content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Feel free to add your favorite seasoning to the mashed potato mixture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Be sure to use oil suitable for frying at higher temperatures. These include canola, peanut, sunflower or corn oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don’t overheat your oil \u2014 use a thermometer to heat the oil to around 350\u00b0F.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the dough is too soft to cut into sticks, you can firm it up by placing it in the freezer for a few minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to Store Potato Sticks
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the Airfryer or in the oven if you want them slightly crispy, otherwise you can reheat them in the microwave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can you freeze potato sticks
Fried potato sticks cannot be frozen, but you can freeze mashed potato batter. Wrap the rolled out dough in plastic wrap, then place it in a freezable Ziploc bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before cutting into sticks and frying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can I make potato sticks in the Airfryer?
If you want you can also bake the potato sticks in the oven and Airfryer, just note that they won’t be as crispy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For baking: place the potato sticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spray with olive oil. Bake at 425\u00b0F\/220\u00b0C for 40 minutes, flipping halfway through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To cook in the Airfryer: Place the potato sticks in the Airfryer basket and spray with olive oil. Bake at 400\u00b0F\/200\u00b0C for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
