Ingredients
  

  • 3 large baking potatoes peeled
  • 1 T all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Place potatoes in a pot of water to cover and bring to a boil. Cover for about 8 minutes, until potatoes have begun to soften but are still firm. Drain potatoes and set aside until cool enough to handle. Grate potatoes with a cheese grater on to a clean towel. Pat dry thoroughly. Put potatoes into a mixing bowl. Toss with flour, garlic and a little salt and pepper.
  • Put a heaping spoonful of potato mixture into the palm of your hand and squeeze to form into a small log shape. Place tater tots onto a plate. Cover tightly and refrigerate until ready to cook.
  • Heat oil in fryer or deep pan to 375-400 degrees. Fry potatoes in batches until cooked and golden. Drain immediately on paper towels and sprinkle with kosher salt. Makes about 40 tater tots.
  • Serve plain, with ketchup, Bama Burger Sauce or your favorite dipping sauce
