Gouda Tater Tots
Chef/Owner Sean Brasel (Serves)
3 Large russet potatoes
3oz Smoked cheddar cheese
3oz Gouda cheese, shredded
1tsp Salt
¼ tsp Ground black pepper
Vegetable oil
Cornstarch for dredging
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roast the potatoes, with their skin on, for 25 minutes (they should still be hard in the middle). While still hot, carefully peel potatoes and shred on a box grater into a bowl; cool slightly. Once potatoes are warm, mix in the cheese and season with the salt and pepper. Form into ½ ounce cylinders, 1½ inches tall and 1 inch round; reserve in the fridge. Heat oil to 350 degrees in a large pot and just before serving, cover the tater tots in cornstarch and carefully drop in oil. Fry until golden brown; serve immediately.
