Homemade Tato Bites Recipes

TATER TOTS

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in boiling water until tender. Then process them using a ricer or food mill OR mash them with a fork for a more lumpy texture.
• Add the flour, egg, some seasoned salt and pepper and combine.
• Form into balls, and then slightly flatten into discs. Let them cool completely.
• Heat some canola oil in a cast-iron skillet and fry the cooled tots until golden. Drain on a paper towel.
• You can freeze the tots after frying. Remove from the freezer when you need them and reheat in a 400 degree F oven for 10 to 12 minutes.
