Time 1h4m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

2 ½ pounds russet potatoes, peeled
3 ounces grated Cheddar cheese
3 ounces grated fontina cheese
1 ½ teaspoons seasoned salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ cup all-purpose flour
4 eggs
2 cups panko bread crumbs
vegetable oil for frying
salt

Steps:

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add whole potatoes; boil until just soft, 15 to 20 minutes.
Shred potatoes using a food processor. Transfer to a large bowl; allow to cool, about 10 minutes.
Mix Cheddar cheese, fontina cheese, seasoned salt, garlic powder, and black pepper into potatoes until well combined. Shape 2 tablespoons of potato mixture at a time into thick disk shapes.
Pour flour into a bowl. Whisk eggs together in a separate bowl. Pour panko into a separate bowl. Roll potato disks in flour, coat with egg, and roll in panko.
Heat 2 inches oil in a heavy skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry tots in batches until crispy and golden, about 4 minutes. Cool on a paper towel-lined tray, about 5 minutes. Season with salt.

Tips:

For a crispier tot, use a smaller ice cream scoop to form the tots. This will result in a higher surface area to volume ratio, which will lead to more crispy edges.
If you don't have an ice cream scoop, you can use a spoon or even your hands to form the tots. Just be sure to pack them tightly so that they hold their shape when cooked.
To prevent the tots from sticking to the pan, make sure the oil is hot before adding them. You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of plantain in. If it sizzles immediately, the oil is hot enough.
Don't overcrowd the pan. Cook the tots in batches if necessary, so that they have enough room to cook evenly.
Serve the tots immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. They're also great as a side dish or appetizer.

Conclusion:

Cheesy Stuffed Plantain Tots are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. They're perfect for parties or potlucks, and they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy plantains, give this recipe a try!
