Tater Tots Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the russet potatoes into small pieces. Boil them in salted water until fork-tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Mash and Mix

    In a large bowl, mash the boiled potatoes until smooth. Add cornstarch, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Form the Tater Tots

    Take small portions of the potato mixture and shape them into small cylinders or balls.

  4. 4

    Fry the Tater Tots

    In a deep pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the tater tots in batches and fry until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
