Ingredients
- 2 pound all-purpose or waxy potatoes
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Preparation
Baking Directions:
Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and toss in potatoes.
Cook until tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
Drain potatoes, grate them, and squeeze out excess liquid.
In a bowl, mix grated potato, 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 1 teaspoon each salt, pepper and garlic powder.
Heat a skillet over medium-high and add canola oil to a depth of ½ inch.
Form thumb-size balls of potato mixture, and when oil is hot, fry tots until golden, 15 seconds per side.
Drain tots on paper towels, let cool, then put them on a baking sheet in the oven until crisp, about 30 minutes, turning once.
