Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 600 grams potatoes about 4 medium
  • 1 carrot grated
  • Water as needed for boiling
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Chopped parsley to taste
  • ½ cup grated hard cheese or mozzarella
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Peel, chop, and boil the potatoes in salted water until soft. Drain and mash.
  2. Add grated carrot, butter, chopped parsley, grated cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  3. Form the mixture into stick or log shapes using your hands.
  4. Place the sticks on a parchment-lined baking tray.
  5. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes, or until golden and slightly crispy on the edges.
  6. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm as a snack, lunchbox item, or light meal.

Notes

  • Use sweet potatoes for a naturally sweet version.
  • You can mix in other veggies like finely grated zucchini or spinach (squeeze out excess moisture first).
  • Use cheddar, parmesan, or cream cheese as alternative cheese options.
  • These freeze well—shape and freeze before baking for a make-ahead snack.
  • Serve with yogurt dip, sour cream, or ketchup.
