Peel and cut the potatoes into chunks, then boil in salted water for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender.

Drain the potatoes and let them cool completely. Mash until smooth.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled mashed potatoes with shredded cheese, beaten egg, salt, and pepper. Fold in the breadcrumbs.

Form the mixture into sticks roughly 1 inch thick and 3-4 inches long.

Roll each stick in additional breadcrumbs to coat.

Heat oil or preheat the oven. Fry or bake sticks until golden brown.

Remove and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dip.
