Tater Tots Recipes

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in boiling water until tender. Then process them using a ricer or food mill OR mash them with a fork for a more lumpy texture.
• Add the flour, egg, some seasoned salt and pepper and combine.
• Form into balls, and then slightly flatten into discs. Let them cool completely.
• Heat some canola oil in a cast-iron skillet and fry the cooled tots until golden. Drain on a paper towel.
• You can freeze the tots after frying. Remove from the freezer when you need them and reheat in a 400 degree F oven for 10 to 12 minutes.

Steps:

• Scrub potatoes and cut into large chunks. Place in a medium pot covered with cold water and bring to a boil. Parboil potatoes until tender, drain them and let them cool slightly. Grate potatoes in a food processor, then squeeze out excess liquid.
• Place potatoes in a large bowl and use a light hand to mix with cornstarch, salt, pepper and garlic powder.
• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Meanwhile, add canola oil to a depth of 1/2 inch in a heavy-bottomed skillet set over medium heat.
• When oil is hot, form thumb-size balls of the potato mixture and fry until golden, about 15 seconds per side.
• Drain on paper towels, and let tots cool. Place in a single layer on a baking sheet, transfer to oven and bake until crisp, about 10 to 20 minutes, turning once.
