Recipe for Homemade Tater Tots

These potato snacks are made by shaping grated potatoes into cylinders and frying them.

Ingredients

• 1 kilogram potatoes
• 30 grams flour
• 5 grams salt
• 2 grams onion powder
• 500 milliliters vegetable oil

Preparation

1. Peel and boil the potatoes for ten minutes until they are partially cooked
2. Let the potatoes cool then grate them into a large mixing bowl
3. Mix the grated potatoes with flour, salt, and the onion powder seasoning
4. Shape the mixture into small cylinders using about one tablespoon of potato
5. Heat the vegetable oil to 180 Celsius in a deep frying pan
6. Fry the tots in batches for five minutes until golden and crispy

Tips

• Do not fully cook the potatoes before grating or they will become mushy
• Ensure the oil is hot before adding the tots to prevent oil absorption
• Drain the fried tots on a wire rack to keep them very crispy
