• Finely shred potatoes on a fine box grater. Season the potatoes with 1 1/2 tablespoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Put the potatoes into a kitchen towel and squeeze out the excess liquid. Put the potatoes into a medium-sized bowl along with the egg and mix well. Add the flour and stir to combine. Stir in the cayenne, smoked paprika garlic powder, salt and pepper, to taste. The mixture should be workable but dry. Form the potatoes into balls or tots and fry, in batches, until golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from fryer and drain on a paper towel lined tray. Immediately season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.

TATER TOTS

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes and place in a large pot of cold water. Bring to a boil, and cook potatoes for 6 minutes. Immediately drain potatoes and allow to cool.
• Using a box grater, shred all potatoes into a large bowl. Use a kitchen town or cheese cloth to squeeze any excess moisture out of the potatoes. NOTE: russet potatotes shouldn't need this since they're relatively dry.
• Beat egg separately and add to the potatoes. Add remaining ingredients (except for the oil) to the bowl and blend thoroughly.
• Use an ice cream scoop to form the mixture into roughly a ball shape. Prep them on a plate to have them ready to cook. Carefully place the tots in oil heated to 350-375 degrees, making sure not to crowd the cooking vessel. Cook for about 4 minutes or until golden brown.
• Place newly-cooked tots on a paper towel; using a baking sheet with a paper towel is a good way to do this. Sprinkle with salt while still hot. Eat as-is or serve with ketchup or other dipping sauce.
