Instructions

6 steps

1
Place the peeled potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Parboil for exactly 7 minutes. They should be partially cooked but still firm in the center.

2
Drain the potatoes and let them cool completely until you can handle them safely.
3
Grate the cooled potatoes using the large holes of a box grater into a large mixing bowl.
4
Sprinkle the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper over the grated potatoes. Toss gently with your hands to combine without mashing the shreds.
5
Take about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and form it tightly into a small, 1-inch cylinder (the classic tot shape). Repeat with the remaining mixture.
6
Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a Dutch oven to 375°F (190°C). Fry the tots in batches for 3-4 minutes until deeply golden brown and very crispy. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
