    • MYO Tater' Tots

      MYO Tater TotsTater' 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
      oil

      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.
      Make your own Tater Tots
      To Reheat quickly:

      Bake in single layer on baking sheet at 400F till crispy


      Optional Flavor Add-ins/ Variations:

      • 1 Tbs Fresh Chopped Chives
      **or**
      • 1 Tbs. Chipotle Pepper
      **or**
      • 1 finely chopped jalapeno (seeds removed!)

        Just wanted to say my family loves these. I made them 2 weeks ago with chicken tenders for the kids dinner one night that the DH was going to be late coming in from the road. I even hated tater tots before trying these, the poor kids never got them at home because I hated them just that much. Now we are having them again tonight and I will definitely be making extras to freeze and reheat for my lunches during the school weeks.

        I've made these too... my only suggestion is to slightly undercook the potatoes, or it's easy to end up with mashed potatoes instead.

        When the recipes calls for cooked and peeled potatoes, what exactly is that? Is it a baked potato that has been peeled or boiled potatoes like you would make before you mash them for mashed potatoes or? What level of cooked-ness are we aiming for? Thanks for any info, I don't usually make things like this but I know everyone in the house would love these.

        I'm curious also, why wouldn't you shred them raw?
