Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Crispy Mashed Potato Fries

  • Prepare creamy mashed potatoes using freshly boiled potatoes, mash until smooth, and add a pinch of salt and pepper. Cool slightly before shaping.
  • Shape the cooled mashed potatoes into fry-like forms and lay them on a parchment-lined tray.
  • Beat an egg for an egg wash, dip each fry into the egg, then roll in breadcrumbs, ensuring an even layer adheres.
  • Cook the fries by frying in hot oil for 4-5 minutes until golden or bake at 425°F for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway.
  • Transfer cooked fries onto a paper towel to absorb excess oil and serve with your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes

Ensure mashed potatoes are completely cooled before shaping fries. Avoid overcrowding the pan when frying for the best texture.
