Tater' tots were a staple food in most of my friends homes growing up. These little bites of crispy goodness are simple to make ahead of time at home to have on hand for a quick side to any meal.You'll Need:
8 med. potatoes, cooked and peeled
4 rounded tbsp. flour
Dash pepper
1 tsp. salt
Canola
Finely shred the potatoes or use ricer while potatoes are hot. Stir in flour, salt, and pepper. (Avoid mashing them as they take on a doughy/starchy texture).
Heat 1/4" oil in heavy pan. Form into small balls ( a cookie dough scoop works great for this!!) and drop into oil. Fry till slightly golden.
Drain on paper towels, Cool then freeze.
To Reheat quickly:
Bake in single layer on baking sheet at 400F till crispy
Optional Flavor Add-ins/ Variations:
- 1 Tbs Fresh Chopped Chives
- 1 Tbs. Chipotle Pepper
- 1 finely chopped jalapeno (seeds removed!)
