The Spruce Eats

Homemade Tater Tots are way easier than you could imagine and are so tasty!

Ingredients

2 (20-ounce) packages of frozen shredded hash browns

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons flour

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried parsley

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 medium onion (grated)

2 garlic cloves (grated or minced)

2/3 cup light oil (for frying)

Garnish: chopped parsley

Method

Gather the ingredients.

Completely thaw the frozen hash browns and squeeze them with paper towels or cheesecloth to remove any extra water.

Chop the hash browns even more so the shreds are no bigger than a 1/2 inch. This will make it easier for them to form into the tater tot shape.

In a large bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, flour, oregano, parsley, salt, and pepper.

Add in the grated onion, garlic, and thawed potatoes and mix until the spices are evenly distributed.

Form tater tots by creating about 1-inch long cylinders. Flatten the ends with your thumb and forefinger to create the tater tot shape.

Heat the oil to 375 F in a large heavy duty Dutch oven or other heavy bottomed pan.

Fry 6 to 7 tater tots at a time, flipping them when one side gets browned, about 2 minutes per side.

Remove them from the oil and allow them to drain on a paper towel lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tater tots until they are all fried.

Serve immediately with chopped parsley and ketchup.
