Ingredients
- 2 (16 ounce) bags frozen potatoes, thawed
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, plus more for coating
- 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 large pinch kosher salt
- 1/2 a clove garlic, grated
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme or oregano leaves
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450° F. Grease a baking sheet with olive oil.
- In a food processor, pulse the potatoes together until finely chopped. If you don't have a food processor, you can skip this step.
- Add the potatoes to a large bowl. Add the olive oil, 1 cup parmesan, flour, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, and a large pinch of salt. Mix until combined and the mixture is moistened.
- Scoop 1 tablespoon of the potatoes out of the bowl, pack it together with your hands until it holds a ball, then form into a cylinder and place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining mix. Don't stress about the shape, they don't need to be perfect. Brush/mist each tot with olive oil, be generous. Transfer to the oven and bake 10-12 minutes, slide a spatula underneath the tots, then flip and bake 10 more minutes. Flip once to the uncooked side, bake 10-12 minutes, until golden and crisp.
- In a small bowl, combine 1-2 tablespoons parmesan, the garlic, and thyme/oregano. Sprinkle the warm tots with the parmesan. Serve tots with lots of ketchup for dipping. ENJOY.
