Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and grate the russet potatoes. 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, cornstarch, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Shape the Tots

    Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into small cylindrical tots.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Tots

    Carefully add the shaped tater tots to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

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