Put potatoes into a pot. Fill the pot with water until it covers the potatoes. Sprinkle some salt. Boil the potatoes until they are tender.

Drain the potatoes then mash them up with fork (or using a potato masher/a ricer).

Add the cheese, corn starch, salt, ground pepper and chives to the mashed potato. Knead them well until the dough comes together.

Take about a quarter of the dough then roll it into a rectangle (about 1/4 inch thick), then cut about 1/4 inch width. Do the same to the remaining dough.

Heat the oil in a deep fryer. Fry the potato sticks until golden brown.
