  • 3 cups water
  • 2 pouches (3.6 oz each) Betty Crocker™ Homestyle creamy butter mashed potatoes (just-add-water variety)
  • 3 cups vegetable oil
  • Ranch dressing, if desired

Steps

  • 1
    In 2-quart saucepan, heat water to boiling. Turn off heat. Add potatoes. Mix to combine.
  • 2
    Spread potatoes onto an ungreased rimmed half baking sheet or 13x9-inch pan. Smooth top with spatula. Place in freezer about 1 hour or until frozen.
  • 3
    Using cookie cutter or sharp knife, cut out stick shapes. Return to freezer until oil is heated.

  • 5
    Carefully place frozen potato sticks into oil (being careful to not crowd pan) and cook until golden. Transfer cooked potato sticks to plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
