      Title: Homemade Tater Tots
 Categories: Potatoes, Herbs
      Yield: 8 servings
 
           Oil for deep-frying
      2 lb Russet potatoes; peeled, io
           - 1" pieces
      2 tb Minced fresh parsley
           +=OR=+
      2 ts Dried parsley flakes
      1 tb Cornstarch
      1 ts Kosher salt
    1/2 ts Onion powder
    1/4 ts Pepper
 
  Place the potatoes in a bowl of cold water and stir them
  for 15 seconds. Drain the potatoes through a colander
  until they stop dripping. Pat them dry with paper
  towels, removing as much moisture as possible.
  
  In an electric skillet or deep fryer, heat the oil to
  350ºF/175ºC. Use enough oil to fully submerge the
  potatoes, with a few extra inches between the oil
  surface and the cooker’s rim to accommodate bubbling.
  
  Fry the potatoes in batches for 6 to 8 minutes, until
  lightly browned. Remove each batch with a slotted spoon
  and let it drain on paper towels.
  
  In batches, place the fried potatoes in a food
  processor. Pulse just until the potatoes are in 1/8" to
  1/4" pieces, stopping before they become gummy. Transfer
  them to a large bowl and gently stir in the parsley,
  cornstarch, salt, onion powder and pepper until just
  combined.
  
  Using about 1 tablespoon of the potato mixture for each
  Tater Tot, create one-inch-long cylinders with a
  slightly narrower diameter. Lay each on a baking sheet
  as you work, leaving space so that they don’t touch.
  
  Increase heat of the oil to 375ºF/190ºC.
  
  Fry the cylinders in batches for 4 to 5 minutes, turning
  frequently, until crisp and golden brown. Remove the
  finished Tater Tots with a slotted spoon and let them
  drain on paper towels. Serve immediately.
  
  Freeze unfried, shaped tots on a baking sheet for at
  least 1 hour, until firm. Transfer the frozen Tater Tots
  to a freezer-safe container and store them for up to 3
  months. Fry them from frozen in 375ºF/190ºC oil for 6 to
  8 minutes, until golden brown.
