Ingredients
- 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg, beaten
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until just tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
- Grate the potatoes using the large holes of a box grater into a large bowl. Add flour, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and beaten egg. Mix until well combined.
- Shape the mixture into small cylinders, about 1 inch long and 3/4 inch thick. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the tots in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per batch.
- Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Serve hot.
Tips
- For extra crispy tots, refrigerate the shaped tots for 30 minutes before frying.
- Serve with ketchup, ranch dressing, or your favorite dipping sauce.
- Leftover tots can be reheated in an air fryer or oven at 400°F for 5-7 minutes.
