Ingredients
- 2 ½ lbs. russet potatoes
- 1 ½ Tbsp minced jalapeño peppers
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper
- ½ cup panko
- Canola Oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- Prick potatoes all over with a fork and place on a foil-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for about 25 minutes, until they're starting to get tender, but are still hard in the middle.
- When potatoes are cool enough to touch, peel them and then shred them with a grater into a bowl.
- Mix minced jalapeños, quinoa, parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper into the grated potatoes.
- Using your hands, form the potato mixture into small cylinders. Place on a baking sheet and chill in the fridge for at least an hour.
- In a heavy-bottomed pot, heat about two inches of oil until it reaches 350-375 degrees.
- Put panko in a bowl and roll potato cylinders in it to fully coat.
- Fry tater tots in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
- With a slotted spoon, move fried tater tots to a paper towel-covered plate.
- Before frying next batch of tots, make sure oil is still between 350-375 degrees.
