Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds russet potatoes peeled
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- oil for frying
Instructions
- Peel the potatoes and place them in a large pot of water. Bring to a boil and boil just until par-boiled. 6.- 7 minutes.
- Remove potatoes and place on a paper-towel lined surface. Pat them dry and allow them to cool to the touch.
- Once potatoes are cool, grate the potatoes. Use the larger side of the grater.
- Combine the potatoes with cornstarch, paprika, granulated garlic, salt and pepper. Mix well until combined.
- Using about 1 tablespoon of the mixture, form into "tot" shape.
- Heat about 1 inch of oil in a large heavy bottomed pot to 400 degrees. Fry the tater tots in batches, if needed, until golden brown, 2 - 3 minutes. If cooking in batches, set your oven to warm (or it's lowest setting) place tater tots on a baking sheet lined with a cooling rack on top to keep warm.
