"Potatoes can totally be a love language, right? 

I think so"

 

You can never have too many potato spice blends in your kitchen, and today I'm sharing my ultimate go-to Homemade Potato Seasoning. I've been playing around with this blend for years. Some months ago, my sister got me her go-to M&S Roasted Potato Seasoning. Naturally, I had to share my version with you all, especially if you love homemade blends or can't get your hands on the M&S Seasoning!

“Sweet, spicy, and extra cheesy
- basically me in snack form”

 

There’s just something undeniably satisfying about a good mozzarella stick - the golden, crispy coating, the viral cheese pull, and that first bite of gooey, cheesy goodness. Don’t say I didn’t warn you, that these Nashville Hot Honey Mozzarella Sticks are dangerously addictive. 

 

A month ago, my explore page was practically bursting with mozzarella stick cheese pulls, and I knew I had to make my own version. That’s how this fiery, sweet-and-spicy fusion came to life, and honestly, zero regrets. The crispiness of the coating, the creamy cheese centre, and that hot honey glaze? An elite combo.

 

These make the perfect appetiser or side dish, it’s great for grazing boards, food platters, match-day snacks, as a cheeky treat, or as a braai/bbq side. You can enjoy them as is, or do what I did and coat them in a sticky Nashville Hot Honey Sauce (a sauce I was originally saving for something else… but it was too good not to use here!). I also paired them with my Homemade Ranch Dressing, which if you haven’t tried it yet, [click here for the recipe].

 

So when I made this, I doubled the recipe because I made extra to freeze and use on another day, which is why there’s more in the pictures in the video. However, my recipe below is for one block (300g), so don’t stress about having to cut the recipe in half. 

 

Now, one block is still A LOT of cheese...can there be such a thing lol yes! So, my suggestion would be to cut thinner strips, halve the strips or cut into 1-inch bite-size cubes - which is what I’ll be doing the next time I make these.

 

Whether you’re team deep-fry or air-fry, I’ve shared both options in the method so you can choose your own cheesy adventure. I also share how to reheat these up easily, and if you’d like to freeze them for later frying or air-frying, I share how to do that as well.

"When life gives you potatoes, 
smash them and call it a salad!"

Each bite is a perfect balance of golden, crunchy potatoes tossed in a flavour-packed dressing with fresh herbs that should never be skipped. This dish quickly became a family favourite, with everyone racing for the crispiest bits!

Here is a shortcut hack: If you don't feel like boiling/roasting and smashing baby potatoes, no problem! Swap them for tater tots or small potato bites. You can toss them or even your smash potatoes in your air fryer (or oven), and achieve that same addictive crispiness in half the time. The air fryer is also a great way to cut down on oil while keeping things super crunchy, it's also a time saver when it comes to making this side dish.

This side dish is perfect for just about any occasion—serve it alongside a braai/BBQ, or as a side dish for dinner, it's a fun delicious twist on your classic potato salad.
