Roasted Potato and Cheese Tater Tots
Posted on February 25, 2014
Watch the video for this recipe:
So simple.. yet soo delicious. There are just few common ingredients involved here, potatoes, some cheese, onion, salt and pepper, and you get one healthy amazingly addictive snack. Crispy on the outside, still soft in the inside and beyond all an amazing taste.
There is no need to fry as the baked tater tots are just perfect. It may take some minutes to form all the tots but it worth all the effort.
You can use sweet potato too for more variation, garlic, with or without cheese, whatever you think may please you best. In any way they turn awesome. Once you make them you will keep wanting more.
As for the dipping sauce I can suggest you a homemade ketchup or chilli jam that complement very well these tots.

Oh these look utterly yummy and I'll be making them this weekend. Funny thing, virtually the same ingredients including spring onions, go into one of my favorite bread recipes, but I'll bet they don't taste in anyway the same - that's the fun of cooking! Thanks for this recipe, I know it will taste even better than it looks.

In Australia these are called potato gems and the first time I saw them I said (loudly) "Tater Tots!!!" Everyone turned to look at me as if I'd just arrived from Mars. They'd sing a different tune if I made these, I'm sure.

I actually made these and they were tasty. But they didn't look like tater tots, they flattened out too much. So they ended up circular and about an inch think. Still very good and easy to handle! I substituted finely diced red onion for green onion. Yum.

I had a go at making these today and they came out looking nothing like yours, but they still tasted amazing! I couldn't get them to form the shape, they just looked like spiky piles of potato. Also made your cornflake crusted chicken to go with them and they were incredible! Your recipes are definitely my new favourite thing :D
Re:
Glad you liked them. Sorry it didn't shaped so nicely.. maybe it's just a matter of exercise. :)

What is a good dipping sauce for this?

These are a must try. Probably for football tomorrow!
Reading the comments about the tater tots not keeping their shape; perhaps using a cheese cloth (or other thin kitchen towel) to squeeze out some of the moisture from the potatoes would help? Just a suggestion!

I made these last night and added a table spoon of curry powder and a teaspoon of ground black pepper to make more interesting for adults. I served it with a garlic, yogurt and chive dipping sauce. I overcooked the potatoes so they were basically mashed but worked out fine. Trick for holding shape was to keep the tots small. I lightly sprayed them with oil and that also worked well.

Hi!
Do these freeze well if you were to make a lot of them at once and save for the next day?
Re:
Hi Lauren
They will be no more crispy. Better serv them immediately.
