      Title: Homemade Potato Tots (Tater Tots)
 Categories: Five, Potatoes, Vegetables
      Yield: 8 Servings
 
      3 lb Russet potatoes
      2 tb All-purpose flour
      1 ts Kosher salt
      1 ts Onion powder
           Peanut or vegetable oil
           Salt
 
  Set oven @ 425ºF/218ºC.
  
  Scrub potatoes thoroughly with a brush; pat dry. Prick
  potatoes with a fork and place in a shallow baking pan.
  Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a paring knife inserts
  easily but resists toward the center.
  
  Cool for 20 minutes. Peel away and discard the skin.
  Coarsely shred potatoes using a box grater or food
  processor. Place potatoes in a large bowl. Sprinkle with
  the flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and onion powder. Using your
  hands, mix well. Divide mixture in half. Transfer each
  half of the mixture to a piece of waxed paper. Firmly pat
  each into a 6" x 6" square about 3/4" thick. Using a
  large sharp knife, cut each into 36 squares.
  
  Fill a deep 3 quart saucepan or deep-fat fryer half full
  with oil; heat oil to 350ºF/175ºC. Working in batches
  of 8 (oil will bubble up as pieces are added), fry potato
  pieces in hot oil for 3 minutes or until golden brown,
  stirring gently occasionally. Using a slotted spoon,
  transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle
  with additional salt while warm.
  
  TO FREEZE: Cool fried potato pieces and place in an
  airtight freezer container. Freeze for up to 3 months. To
  serve, arrange pieces in a single layer in a shallow
  baking pan. Bake in a 400ºF/205ºC oven for 15 minutes
  or until heated through and crisp.
  
  SPICE IT UP: Replace the salt and onion powder with 1 to
  2 tablespoons of Taco Seasoning, Prairie Seasoning,
  Pacific Seasoning, Everyday Seasoning, Citrus Seasoning,
  or Fajita Seasoning. If using Italian or Greek Seasoning,
  add 1 teaspoon kosher salt.
  
  ROSEMARY-SMOKED BLACK PEPPER: Omit onion powder. Add 1
  teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary and 1/2 teaspoon
  smoked black pepper.
  
  Makes: 8 servings
