Crispy golden tater tots are a popular snack or side dish loved by many. They can be easily made at home with this simple recipe:
Ingredients:
– 2 lbs. Russet potatoes (washed and peeled)
– 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 tsp salt
– 1/8 tsp black pepper
– 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
– Oil for frying
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut potatoes into evenly sized, small strips about 3 inches long and 1 inch wide. Place in a large bowl of cold water to prevent oxidation.
2. Drain the potatoes, rinse, and drain again. Shake off excess water.
3. Combine flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a separate bowl. Toss the potato strips with this mixture until evenly coated.
4. Fill a deep skillet or fryer halfway full with vegetable oil and heat to 375°F. Carefully lower the coated potato strips into hot oil, working in batches if necessary. Do not overcrowd the pan.
5. Fry for about 4-5 minutes, flipping occasionally until golden brown on all sides. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them onto paper towels or a wire rack to drain excess oil.
6. Once fried tater tots are drained and cooled slightly, arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-15 minutes at 400°F until crispy. Serve immediately or freeze for later use.
Enjoy your delicious homemade tater tots as a snack or side dish!
