Variations:
Add a pinch of paprika or chili flakes for a little heat.
Use sweet potatoes for a different flavor and color.
Replace parsley with fresh dill or chives for a new twist.
FAQ:
Q: Can I bake these instead of frying?
A: Yes, place them on a parchment-lined baking tray, brush with oil, and bake at 200°C (400°F) for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway.
Q: Can I make them in advance?
A: Yes, shape the sticks and refrigerate them up to 24 hours ahead. Cook just before serving.
Q: What’s the best cheese to use?
A: Any hard cheese like cheddar or gouda works well. Mozzarella gives a gooey texture but milder flavor.
Q: Are they freezer-friendly?
A: Yes. Freeze them uncooked in a single layer, then store in a freezer bag. Cook straight from frozen, adding a few extra minutes.
