How To Make: Tater Tots

Every once in a while, we get on a fried food kick. Normally when I want to make something that needs to be fried, instead of just dumping the oil, I'll use it a few times that week for different things. This week I wanted to make homemade tater tots. I can't tell you how easy it was! Just a handful of ingredients, a little shredding of potatoes and a quick fry and you have some great tasting, homemade tater tots!


What You Need:

4 large baking potatoes
1 small onion
1/2 c flour
1/4 c granted Parmesan cheese
2 egg yolks
salt and pepper
oil for frying

What To Do:

Peel the potatoes and using the fine side of a box grater, grate them into a bowl lined with a clean dish towel. Once they're grated, squeeze as much water out of the potatoes as possible, by gathering them in the dish towel and giving it a good squeeze over the sink. Place the potatoes in a bowl and grate the small onion into the potato mixture. Combine the flour, egg yolk, Parmesan cheese and some salt and pepper into the potatoes, using your hands to do the mixing so that everything is well incorporated. Drop by tablespoon fulls into hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy. Remove to a paper towel lined tray and sprinkle with salt. Serve hot!
