Directions
- Add the potatoes to a pot and cover with cold water then bring to a boil over high heat. When the water starts boiling rapidly cook the potatoes for 5 to 10 minutes (depending on the size of your potatoes). You want the potatoes to be tender enough to poke with a fork, but still firm enough to grate.
- Drain the potatoes and set aside to cool for about 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Rub the skins off the potatoes then use the small holes on a grater to grate the potatoes.
- Dry off the grated potatoes with a towel.
- Place the grated potatoes in a large bowl along with the cornstarch, garlic, 1 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper then stir until well combined.
- Brush a rimmed baking sheet with 2 TBSP of the oil until evenly coated.
- Rub a little olive oil on your hands to prevent sticking. Use your hands to form the potato mixture into small balls roughly 1-inch in diameter then form them into cylinder shapes and place them spread out on the oiled baking sheet.
- Brush the tops of the tots with 1 TBSP of oil then bake them in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes.
- Take the tots out of the oven and flip them over. Return the tots to the oven and bake for 12 more minutes or until crisp.
- Season the tots will additional salt if needed.
