Ingredients
- 3 large russet potatoes
- 3 ounce smoked cheddar cheese, shredded
- 3 ounce gouda cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- vegetable oil
- cornstarch, for dredging
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Roast the potatoes, with their skin on, for 25 minutes (they should still be hard in the middle).
- While still hot, carefully peel the potatoes and shred on a box grater into a bowl; cool slightly. Once the potatoes are just warm, mix in the cheese and season with the salt and pepper. Form into ½-ounce cylinders, 1 ½-inches tall and 1-inch round; reserve in the fridge until ready to use.
- In a large pot, heat a few inches of oil over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer reads 350 degrees F.
- Just before serving, dredge the tater tots in cornstarch and drop in the oil. Fry until golden brown. Serve immediately.
