How To Make ‘tato tots

  • Step 1
    Place whole potatoes in a large pot and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until fork tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and plunge into ice water.
  • Step 2
    Shred potatoes, drain excess water. Transfer shredded potato into a large mixing bowl; stir in other ingredients until combined. Shape potato mixture into inch long tots.
  • Step 3
    Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Step 4
    Lower tots carefully into the hot oil in batches, about 5 to 10 at a time. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining tots.
