Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups mashed potatoes (homemade or leftover)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour if preferred)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional for added flavor)
- Oil for frying or baking (olive oil, vegetable oil, or your favorite halal oil)
Instructions
- Prepare the mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the smooth mashed potatoes with the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. If you’re opting for the Parmesan cheese, fold it in gently.
- Shape the fries: Using your hands, take a handful of the mixture and form it into fry shapes, about 4 inches long and 1 inch wide.
- Cook the fries: For frying, heat your oil in a deep pan over medium heat and fry them in batches for about 3-4 minutes on each side. For baking, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C), place the fries on a baking sheet, and bake for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through.
- Serve: Remove the fries and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
Notes
Ensure that your mashed potatoes are completely smooth for the best texture. You can freeze the mixture for up to 2 months.
