Are these Cottage Cheese Parmesan Fry Sticks made with potatoes?

No. These fry sticks are completely potato-free . Cottage cheese, Parmesan, egg, and flour create the base.

Can I use low-fat cottage cheese?

Yes. Low-fat cottage cheese can be used, although full-fat cottage cheese may give you a slightly richer texture.

Why is my dough too sticky?

Cottage cheese contains different amounts of moisture depending on the brand. If your dough is extremely sticky, add a small amount of flour at a time until it becomes easier to handle.

Yes. Air frying can give the fry sticks a nice crisp exterior. Cook them at around 375°F and check them early since air fryers vary.

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yes. You can prepare the dough, cover it, and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before shaping and baking.

How do I make them extra crispy?

Keep the sticks fairly thin, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet, and lightly coat them with oil before baking.

What Parmesan should I use?

Finely shredded or freshly grated Parmesan works best. Avoid very large cheese pieces because they may not blend evenly into the dough.

Cottage Cheese Parmesan Fry Sticks – Crispy, Delicious & Easy

Ingredients

Scale

1 cup cottage cheese
1 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese
1 large egg
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
Cooking spray or 1 teaspoon olive oil

Instructions

Refrigerate: Allow the fry sticks to cool completely, then store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Freeze: Place cooled fry sticks in a single layer on a tray and freeze until firm. Transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 2 months.

Reheat: Reheat in a 375°F oven or air fryer until warmed through and crisp around the edges. Avoid microwaving if you want to keep them crispy.

Notes

Cottage cheese: Full-fat or low-fat cottage cheese both work. If it is very watery, drain some of the liquid first.

Parmesan: Finely shredded Parmesan blends more easily into the mixture and gives the fry sticks a stronger cheesy flavor.

Flour: Regular all-purpose flour helps create a dough that is easy to shape. For a gluten-free version, use a suitable 1-to-1 gluten-free flour blend.

Seasonings: Garlic powder and Italian seasoning add a simple savory flavor. Feel free to adjust them to your taste.
