Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and let them cool.

  2. 2

    Mix the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, pancetta (cooked and chopped), chives, roasted poblano (chopped), smoked cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Form the Tater Tots

    Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into bite-sized tots.

  4. 4

    Fry the Tater Tots

    Heat olive oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Fry the tater tots in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Gorgonzola Crème Fraîche

    In a small bowl, combine Gorgonzola cheese and crème fraîche. Mix until smooth and creamy.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the smoked cheddar tater tots warm, drizzled with the Gorgonzola crème fraîche and garnished with additional chives, if desired.
