Method

Tater Tot Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare Potatoes

    Peel and dice the russet potatoes into small cubes. Boil them in salted water for about 10-15 minutes until tender. Drain and let cool.

    Mash and Mix

    Once cooled, mash the potatoes in a large bowl. Add flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Form Tater Tots

    Take small portions of the potato mixture and roll them into small cylindrical shapes, about 1 inch long.

    Heat Oil

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