Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into quarters. Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let them cool.

Prepare the Potatoes

Once cooled, mash the potatoes in a large bowl until smooth. Avoid lumps for a better texture.

Mash the Potatoes

Add flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to the mashed potatoes. Mix until well combined.

Scoop out small amounts of the potato mixture and shape them into small balls or cylinders, about 1 inch in size.

In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

Carefully drop the tater tots into the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Serve the tater tots hot, with your choice of dips or sauces.
