Homemade Tater Tots

Ingredients

• 2 medium russet potatoes , peeled
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
• 1 teaspoon seasoned pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
• 2 cups peanut oil

Instructions

1. 1

   Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes; drain and cool until easily handled, 10 to 15 minutes.

2. 2

   Shred potatoes with a box grater; drain excess water. Transfer shredded potato into a large mixing bowl; stir in parsley, flour, salt, seasoned pepper, and onion powder until combined. Shape potato mixture into 1-inch long potato nuggets.

3. 3

   Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

4. 4

   Lower potato nuggets carefully into the hot oil in batches, about 5 to 10 at a time. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining nuggets.
