Method

Tater Tots Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and grate the Russet potatoes using a box grater or food processor.

  2. 2

    Remove Excess Moisture

    Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.

  3. 3

    Mix Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cornstarch. Mix until well combined.

  4. 4

    Form Tater Tots

    Take small portions of the potato mixture and roll them into bite-sized cylinders or balls.

  5. 5

    Heat Oil

    In a deep skillet or pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

  6. 6

    Fry the Tater Tots

    Carefully add the tater tots to the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch.

  7. 7

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the tater tots from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
