1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel and dice the russet potatoes into small pieces. Boil them in salted water until fork-tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and let them cool.
2
Mash and Mix
Once cooled, mash the potatoes in a large bowl. Add flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to the mashed potatoes. Mix until well combined.
3
Shape the Tots
Take small portions of the potato mixture and shape them into small cylindrical forms, about the size of a traditional tater tot.
4
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
5
Fry the Tots
Carefully add the shaped tater tots to the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
6
Serve
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
