Fried Tater Tots With A Sweet And Spicy Thai Inspired Glaze Recipes

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in boiling water until tender. Then process them using a ricer or food mill OR mash them with a fork for a more lumpy texture.
• Add the flour, egg, some seasoned salt and pepper and combine.
• Form into balls, and then slightly flatten into discs. Let them cool completely.
• Heat some canola oil in a cast-iron skillet and fry the cooled tots until golden. Drain on a paper towel.
• You can freeze the tots after frying. Remove from the freezer when you need them and reheat in a 400 degree F oven for 10 to 12 minutes.

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a pot; add cold water until potatoes are covered by 1 inch. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer until potatoes are softened, about 10 minutes; drain. Cool until easily handled, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Shred potatoes into thin strips with a box grater; drain excess water. Place shredded potato into a large mixing bowl. Stir parsley, flour, salt, seasoned pepper, and onion powder into the potatoes until combined. Shape potato mixture into potato nuggets.
• Heat peanut oil in a deep-fryer or large stockpot to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place potato nuggets in the fryer, 5 to 10 at a time. Cook until golden brown and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate.

Steps:

• 1. Make the tots: In a large, heavy pot or wok, heat oil to 385 degrees. Add tator tots and fry until brown and crisp, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain on paper towel. Season with salt. 2. Make the sauce: In a skillet over medium heat, place red chile flakes and sesame seeds. Toast 1 minute. 3. Stir in sugar, chili sauce, lime juice, ginger, peanuts, scallions, mint, cilantro, jalapeño, and 2 tablespoons fish sauce. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Taste, and add more fish sauce, if desired. Cook, stirring frequently, until thickened and glazed, about 3 minutes. 4. Add tator tots, tossing to coat in sauce, and cook 1 minute. 5. To serve: Pour onto a plate. Garnish with peanuts, mint sprigs, scallions, cilantro, and red jalapeño, if using.
