• 2 cups russet potatoes
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 4 cups vegetable oil

Method

1. 1

   Peel and grate the russet potatoes. Place them in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.

2. 2

   In a mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, all-purpose flour, beaten egg, salt, black pepper, and onion powder. Mix until well combined.

3. 3

   Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C).

4. 4

   Using a tablespoon, scoop the potato mixture and form small cylindrical tots. Carefully drop them into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.

5. 5

   Fry the tater tots for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally for even cooking.

6. 6

   Remove the tater tots with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Season with additional salt if desired.

7. 7

   Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
