CRAB TATER TOTS
Steps:
- In a small saucepan, combine the butter with 1/4 cup water over high heat. When the water comes to a simmer and the butter is melted, add the flour. Reduce the heat to medium and stir until the resulting paste pulls away from the sides of the pan, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Allow to cool for 5 minutes. Add the egg to the pan and stir vigorously until the egg is incorporated into the flour mixture. Stir in the mashed potatoes and let cool. Pour enough oil into a medium pot so that the oil comes 3 inches up the sides. Heat the oil to 350 degrees F. While the oil heats, gently fold the crab into the potato mixture; the lumpier the batter, the better. Using two soup spoons, shape the mixture into quenelles, or 2-inch footballs. (You should end up with about 35.) Roll in the panko. Deep-fry, working in batches and turning once, until crisp, brown, and heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with salt

[email protected]I'm not a fan of tater tots in general, but these crab tater tots were actually really good. The crab flavor was really prominent, and the tots were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

[email protected]These crab tater tots are a great way to use up leftover crab meat. I had some leftover crab from a crab boil, and these tots were the perfect way to use it up.

[email protected]I'm allergic to crab, so I substituted shrimp in this recipe. It turned out great! The shrimp tater tots were just as delicious as the crab tater tots.

[email protected]Meh. I found these crab tater tots to be bland and uninspired. The crab flavor was barely there, and the tots were soggy. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.
