Tater Tots

Posted By : Joanna D'souza 

Here you will find Tater Tots in 2 variation one Plain and another Masaledar

If you wish your Tater Tots to be Masaledar then simply sprinkle the Masala’s of your choice then gently knead to incorporate all ingredients

But incase you wish to keep it Plain with Natural Potato Flavour then please don’t add any Indian  Spices to it

As per my experiment I preferred Plain with natural flavours

So the reciepe down below is for Plain Tater Tots

Required Ingredients

450 gms Whole Firm Potatoes

2 teaspoon  of Plain Flour ( Maida )

1 tablespoon of Minced Garlic

1 tablespoon Minced Onion

1 teaspoon  Dried / Fresh  Parsley or Use Fresh Coriander leaves

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Salt and Pepper

Frying Oil for deep frying

 

Method Of  Preparation

Peel your potatoes (but don’t cut them) place them in a saucepan, cover them with cold water, bring to a boil and then simmer the potatoes for about 10 minutes or until you can easily stick a knife through the center but are still firm (you don’t want them to be too soft for this) then drain them and allow them to cool a bit.

Shred the potatoes using the largest size on a box grater, squeeze the grated potatoes to make sure there is no liquid present, then add the squeezed potatoes to a bowl and mix in the flour, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper until well combined.

Before you start forming your tots, prepare a heavy bottomed skillet by filling it half way up with some vegetable oil and allow it to get nice and hot.

Form your tots, then in batches, fry them for a few minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy, drain on a paper towel lined plate and dig in! With your favourite  Dipping Sauce

NOTE : These freeze and reheat very well, all you do is place them on a single layer on a baking sheet, pop them in the freezer for about 45 minutes, then transfer them to a plastic resealable freezer bag and store them for a later use.

To reheat, bake them for about 15 minutes in a 425 degree oven
