Directions:
Boil the Potatoes: Peel and cut the potatoes into chunks. Place them in a pot of water with 1/2 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender.
Drain and Mash: Drain the boiled potatoes and mash them until smooth. For an extra creamy texture, you can pass the mashed potatoes through a sieve to remove any lumps.
Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with vegetable oil and potato starch or cornstarch. Mix the dough until smooth.
Shape the Potatoes: Cut off the neck of a plastic bottle and place it in a piping bag. Cut a star shape into the bottle cap. Press the dough through the piping bag to form strips.
Fry the Potatoes: Heat sunflower oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the potato strips until golden brown. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Make the Cheese Sauce: In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually add the liquid cream, whisking continuously until the sauce thickens. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and black pepper. Cook until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
Serve: Arrange the fried potato strips on a serving plate. Drizzle the cheese sauce over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
