Tater Tots Ingredients

Method

Tater Tots Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Potatoes

    Peel and grate the Russet potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and all-purpose flour. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Form Tater Tots

    Take small portions of the mixture and form them into small cylindrical shapes, about 1 inch in length.

  4. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a deep frying pan or pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry Tater Tots

    Carefully add the formed tater tots into the hot oil, cooking in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the tater tots from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
