Tater Tots Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel and grate the russet potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Rinse the grated potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch, then drain and pat them dry with paper towels.

Mix Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Form Tater Tots
Take small portions of the potato mixture and shape them into small, cylindrical tots. Repeat until all the mixture is used.

Fry the Tater Tots
In a large frying pan or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Carefully add the tater tots in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side.

Drain and Serve
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried tater tots to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
