Season the Potatoes
In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and olive oil. Mix well until all the potatoes are evenly coated.

Coat the Mozzarella Sticks
Take a mozzarella stick and roll it in the seasoned grated potato mixture, pressing down to ensure the potatoes adhere well. Repeat for all mozzarella sticks.
