Hello friend’s, welcome to my blog. Today I am going to share with you Oil Free Tater Tots Recipe as a snacks. I hope you will enjoy this historical snacks. This recipe is dedicated for one serving. So without any further delay let’s start the recipe.
INGREDIENTS:
| Russet potatoes (medium) | 2 (300g) |
| Cornstarch | 1 tablespoon |
| Garlic powder | ½ teaspoon |
| Onion powder | ½ teaspoon |
| Salt & pepper | To taste |
METHOD:
- Prep the Potatoes: Start by giving your potatoes a good scrub under running water, then peel them if you prefer a smoother texture (I like leaving a bit of skin on for extra nutrients and flavor). Chop them into even chunks—about 1-inch pieces work great.
- Boil it Up: Toss the potato chunks into a pot of boiling water with a pinch of salt. Let them cook for 10-12 minutes until they’re fork-tender but not falling apart. Drain them well and let them cool for a few minutes. This step is key for getting that mashable consistency without sogginess.
- Mash and Season: Once cooled, mash the potatoes in a bowl until mostly smooth— a few lumps are okay for that homemade vibe. Stir in the cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix it all up until it forms a dough-like mixture. If it feels too sticky, add a tiny sprinkle more cornstarch.
- Shape the Tots: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper (no oil needed— the parchment prevents sticking). Scoop out about a tablespoon of the mixture at a time and shape it into classic tot cylinders. Place them on the sheet with a little space between each.
- Bake to Perfection: Pop them in the oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crispiness. They should come out golden and crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. If your oven runs hot, keep an eye on them to avoid over-browning.
There you have it—crispy tater tots without the fryer mess or calorie bomb. Pair them with your favorite dipping sauce like ketchup or a yogurt-based ranch for an extra kick. This recipe is endlessly customizable too; try adding smoked paprika for a barbecue twist or some finely chopped herbs if you’re feeling fancy.
