Tater Tots image

There's no need to peel the new potatoes for these otherwise labor-intensive tots, which are little short of a revelation. Serve with ketchup, of course.

Time 45m

Yield About 40 tots

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds new potatoes, left unpeeled
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Canola or other neutral oil

Steps:

  • Scrub potatoes and cut into large chunks. Place in a medium pot covered with cold water and bring to a boil. Parboil potatoes until tender, drain them and let them cool slightly. Grate potatoes in a food processor, then squeeze out excess liquid.
  • Place potatoes in a large bowl and use a light hand to mix with cornstarch, salt, pepper and garlic powder.
  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Meanwhile, add canola oil to a depth of 1/2 inch in a heavy-bottomed skillet set over medium heat.
  • When oil is hot, form thumb-size balls of the potato mixture and fry until golden, about 15 seconds per side.
  • Drain on paper towels, and let tots cool. Place in a single layer on a baking sheet, transfer to oven and bake until crisp, about 10 to 20 minutes, turning once.

These tater tots were a disappointment. They were bland and didn't have much flavor.

These were a bit too greasy for my taste.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my tater tots didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked. I think I might have needed to fry them for a little longer.

I've made these tater tots several times now, and they always turn out great. They're so easy to make, and they're always a crowd-pleaser.

These tater tots were a hit with my family! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I used a combination of russet and Yukon Gold potatoes, and I think that gave them a really nice flavor.
