In a large bowl, combine the frozen grated potatoes, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Shape the Tater Tots

Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Fry the Tater Tots
Carefully add the shaped tater tots to the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally.
