So good, so crispy and so delicious. Watch the video then follow the recipes below:
The Tots
2 pounds russet potatoes
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Oil
Peel potatoes and put into a pot, cover with cold water and bring to a boil – let cook until a small knife can go into the potato about 1/3 of the way – 6 to 7 minutes
Drain well and let cool until you can handle it
Use a box grater and shred them onto a dish towel – when you’re done squeeze out any water and put in a large bowl
Add flour, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, paprika and salt and pepper – mix well and form into tots
Heat at least an inch of oil in a pot or cast pan to 360-370 degrees
Carefully add tots, but not too many or the temp will drop and cook until golden brown, probably 3-4 minutes
Put on paper towels to drain, season with Kosher salt and EAT!
NOTE: On the off chance you have some leftover, you can freeze them – then bring them back to life in a 400 degree oven for about 15 minutes or until crispy again
