INGREDIENTS:

For the Dough:

• 1 cup warm water (about 110°F)
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt

For the Topping:

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning (or a mix of dried oregano, basil, and thyme)
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Prepare the Dough:

• In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the sugar in the warm water. Sprinkle the yeast over the water and let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes foamy.
• Add the flour, olive oil, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir until a soft dough forms.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it for about 5 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.
• Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

2. Preheat the Oven:

• Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.

3. Roll Out the Dough:

• Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a floured surface.
• Roll the dough out into a large rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick. Transfer the rolled-out dough to the prepared baking sheet.

4. Prepare the Garlic Butter:

• In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and minced garlic.
• Brush the garlic butter evenly over the surface of the dough.

5. Add the Cheese:

• Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese evenly over the garlic buttered dough.
• For extra flavor, sprinkle the dried Italian seasoning over the top of the cheese.

6. Bake the Breadsticks:

• Bake the breadsticks in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden, and the breadsticks are lightly browned around the edges.

7. Slice and Serve:

• Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the breadsticks cool for a couple of minutes.
• Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to slice the bread into breadsticks.
• If desired, sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the breadsticks for a burst of color and freshness.

8. Enjoy:

• Serve your Homemade Cheesy Garlic Breadsticks warm with marinara sauce for dipping, or alongside your favorite main dish.

Tips for Success

• Dough: For the best texture, make sure your dough is kneaded well. This helps develop the gluten, which gives the breadsticks their chewy texture.
• Garlic Butter: The combination of melted butter and fresh garlic gives these breadsticks an irresistible aroma and flavor. Be generous when brushing it on for maximum flavor.
• Cheese: Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese. Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend of Italian cheeses can add a unique twist.
• Crispy Edges: If you prefer crispy edges, bake the breadsticks a little longer until the cheese is deeply golden and the edges are crunchy

• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 10 g (2 tsp) butter
• 2 eggs
• 2 tbsp potato starch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Boil and Prep the Potatoes

First, boil the potatoes for about 20 minutes until they are tender. Drain and let them cool slightly. Peel the potatoes and press them through a potato ricer into a large mixing bowl.

2. Sauté the Onion and Garlic

Peel and finely dice the onion and garlic. In a small pan, sauté the onion and garlic in butter until they are soft and fragrant. This usually takes about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.

3. Prepare the Potato Mixture

Add the eggs, potato starch, sautéed onion and garlic to the riced potatoes. Season the mixture with salt, pepper, and thyme. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. This mixture should be firm enough to shape into patties.

4. Form the Patties

Divide the mixture into eight portions. Take one portion and flatten it slightly in your hand. Place a piece of feta cheese in the center and cover it with the potato mixture, forming a patty. Ensure the feta is completely enclosed. Repeat with the remaining portions.

5. Fry the Patties

Heat oil or clarified butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the patties in the pan. Fry them on each side for about 4-5 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. You may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.

6. Serve

Remove the patties from the pan and let them drain on paper towels to remove any excess oil. Serve immediately with your choice of a mixed salad, cucumber salad, green bean salad, or braised cherry tomatoes.

Tips for Perfect Potato Patties

• Choose floury potatoes: These potatoes mash well and provide a fluffy texture.
• Ensure the mixture is firm: If the mixture is too loose, add a bit more potato starch to bind it.
• Use a ricer for smooth potatoes: This ensures there are no lumps, which helps in forming uniform patties.

Storing and Serving

These potato patties are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them in a pan over medium heat to retain their crispy exterior. Serve these patties as a main course with a salad, or as a side dish to complement your favorite protein. They are versatile and can be paired with a variety of dishes.

Conclusion

Our Potato Patties are a weekly favorite for a reason. With their crispy exterior, creamy feta filling, and flavorful potato mixture, they make for a delicious and satisfying meal. Whether you’re serving them for lunch, dinner, or as a side dish, these patties are sure to become a staple in your kitchen. Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures in every bite!
