Cheesy Tots image

These aren't your average tots! Loaded with cheese, they're yummy on their own or dipped in your favorite sauce. They freeze well for later use as well!

Time 1h4m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 ½ pounds russet potatoes, peeled
3 ounces grated Cheddar cheese
3 ounces grated fontina cheese
1 ½ teaspoons seasoned salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ cup all-purpose flour
4 eggs
2 cups panko bread crumbs
vegetable oil for frying
salt

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add whole potatoes; boil until just soft, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Shred potatoes using a food processor. Transfer to a large bowl; allow to cool, about 10 minutes.
  • Mix Cheddar cheese, fontina cheese, seasoned salt, garlic powder, and black pepper into potatoes until well combined. Shape 2 tablespoons of potato mixture at a time into thick disk shapes.
  • Pour flour into a bowl. Whisk eggs together in a separate bowl. Pour panko into a separate bowl. Roll potato disks in flour, coat with egg, and roll in panko.
  • Heat 2 inches oil in a heavy skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry tots in batches until crispy and golden, about 4 minutes. Cool on a paper towel-lined tray, about 5 minutes. Season with salt.

I made these cheesy tots in the air fryer and they were perfect. They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

These cheesy tots are a great way to get kids to eat their vegetables. I snuck some pureed carrots into the mashed potatoes and my kids didn't even notice.
