it's almost july guys, and i am back in new york. doing basically nothing, just enjoying the weather, my bed, food and coffee. i really hope i don't forget how to play violin hahaha! oh whatever, so today i am sharing a recipe!! it's my first time making tater tots from scratch, they actually taste pretty legit, and its healthier than the frozen ones right? plus! it's super easy. it can be perfect breakfast, snacks or anything. i am sure potato lovers will love this:)
Ingredients:
1 Tb of oilve oil
a pinch of salt
a pink of black pepper
2 Yukon potatoes, about 1 lbs
1 Tb of all purpose flour
1 Tsp of salt
1/4 Tsp of cayenne pepper
1/4 garlic powder
Oil for fry
How to put them together:
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Wash the potatoes, pat them dry. Place them on a baking sheet and drizzle olive oil on top. Use a fork to stab wholes throughout the top. Sprinkle salt and pepper. Cook them in the oven for 45-60 Minutes. until their skin is crispy, and sticking one with a fork meets no resistance. Let it cool completely.
Peel the potatoes and shred them on the large holes of a box grater. transfer to a large bowl, sprinkle in the flour, cayenne pepper, garlic powder and salt, and gently mix until combined.
Scoop 1½ tablespoons of the potato mixture into a short cylinder, about 1½ inches long and ¾ inch wide. press the mixture in tightly and then press the tots onto a baking sheet, and repeat with the remaining potato mixture.
Line a second baking sheet with paper towels; set aside. pour ¼ inch of oil into a large frying pan and set over medium-high heat until hot, about 5 minutes. fry the tots in batches of 8 to 10 pieces (do not overcrowd the pan), turning once, until light golden brown on both sides, about 1 to 2 minutes per batch. using a slotted spoon, transfer the tots to the paper-towel-lined baking sheet, and season with salt. repeat for all the tots.
