Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil and cook until parboiled, about 6-7 minutes.
  2. While waiting for potatoes to cook, mix all dry ingredients together: flour, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano and dill; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  3. Drain potatoes well and let cool. Popping them in a fridge can help cool them down quicker. If you are hand grating the potatoes you don't want them to be burning hot on the inside.
  4. Using a box grater, finely shred potatoes. (Extra touch: Using a clean dish towel or cheese cloth, drain potatoes completely, removing as much water as possible.)
  5. Transfer potatoes to a large bowl. Stir in the dry ingredients. The mixture should be workable but dry. Form potatoes into tots.
Cooking Option 1 - Shallow Frying
  1. Heat oil in pan.
  2. Flatten the tater tots in the pan. Flip hash brown as needed to crisp both sides.
  3. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Dab off oil.
  4. Sprinkle with salt to taste. Enjoy immediately.
Cooking Option 2 - Deep Frying
  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Add tots to the skillet, 5 or 6 at a time, and cook until evenly golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  3. Serve immediately!

Highly Recommended Cooked Eaten
The seasoning was so good. The hashbrowns were so crunchy & delicious. It was a little tiring to cook them all because there was so much potato to roll. I also used a small pan so that the oil didn't spread out a lot, but that slowed down my process.
I also tried baking them after spraying them with oil, but they did not turn out well. Ended up pan frying them.
