Baked tater tots😋

I wanted to try my kids favorite tater tots and wanted it to be healthy at the same time. So I decided to bake them instead of frying. It turned out yummy. There is not much difference between fried and baked tater tots apart from extra crispiness in the fried ones. Russell potatoes are very good for this recipe and it maintains the texture. Inorder to retain the texture the potatoes should neither be hard or soft. It should be little soft but still when grated needs to maintain it’s texture. Now let’s look into the recipe.

8. Bread crumbs as needed

9. Black pepper – 1/4 tsp

10. Salt as needed
