Ingredients
  • 2 large potatoes, russets are best
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
  • 1 ounce cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • vegetable oil for frying
  • flour for dusting

Directions
  1. Place the potatoes in a saucepan of water to cover, and bring to a boil over medium heat.
  2. Reduce heat, and simmer until the potatoes are cooked through but still firm, about 20 minutes.
  3. Remove from the water, cool slightly and peel the cooked potatoes while still warm.
  4. Shred the potatoes with a box grater, and place the shredded potatoes in a bowl.
  5. Lightly mix in the chives, cheese, salt, and pepper.
  6. Mold by handfuls into large "cigars" and place on a lined cookie sheet.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 1/2 hour.
  8. Heat oil in deep fryer.
  9. Cut into 1 inch pieces.
  10. Toss about six into a small bowl of flour and shake them off a little before placing in the deep fryer.
  11. Fry until golden brown and drain on paper towels.

Flagged as Unique because it is, good post.


Good job. ^5 :)


These look great!


What a great recipe. I hate buying frozen potato anything. So nice to be able to make Tater Tots from scratch & these sound delicious. Thanks & 5 forks+++++


This was very good! The only thing I did differently was to add more cheddar and salt. I also added some onion powder. It is a long process and a little messy but its worth it! This is a great recipe because you can customize it to meet your tastes! I added my photo:)


I love making things from scratch! I never thought to make my own but I am sure going to try these.


I saw this reviewed in the "I Made It" group. It looks delicious and I never thought of making my own tater tots. I can't wait to try. Thanks for posting.


Hu!Looks good though.
