Step by step method

Step 1

Prepare the Mixture: Add boiled potatoes into a ziplock bag. Add corn starch, black pepper, chili flakes, oregano, cheese slice, cheese powder (optional), salt, and chopped coriander. Mash everything well from outside the bag until smooth.

Step 2

Set the Mixture: Flatten the mixture evenly in the bag using a rolling pin. Place in the freezer for 2–3 hours until firm (not fully frozen).

Step 3

Cut into Sticks: Once firm, cut the mixture into stick shapes.

Step 4

Prepare the Coating: Make a thin batter using flour, a pinch of salt, and water. Dip each potato stick into the batter, coat with bread crumbs, and keep aside. (Pro Tip: Double-coat for extra crunch!)

Step 5

Fry the Sticks: Heat oil and fry potato sticks on medium heat until golden brown and crispy.

Step 6

Serve: Sprinkle chaat masala on top. Serve hot with ketchup, mayo, or your favorite dip.
