Directions

Tots

  1. Peel potatoes and put into a pot, cover with cold water and bring to a boil – let cook until a small knife can go into the potato about 1/3 of the way – 6 to 7 minutes
  2. Drain well and let cool until you can handle it
  3. Use a box grater and shred them onto a dish towel – when you’re done squeeze out any water and put in a large bowl
  4. Add flour, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, paprika and salt and pepper – mix well and form into tots
  5. Heat at least an inch of oil in a pot or cast pan to 360-370 degrees
  6. Carefully add tots, but not too many or the temp will drop and cook until golden brown, probably 3-4 minutes
  7. Put on paper towels to drain, season with Kosher salt and EAT!
  8. NOTE: On the off chance you have some leftover, you can freeze them – then bring them back to life in a 400 degree oven for about 15 minutes or until crispy again

Sauces

  1. Guessing this is obvious, but mix all sauces well until combined
