Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add whole potatoes, boil until just soft, 15 to 20 minutes.

  2. Shred potatoes using a food processor. Transfer to a large bowl, allow to cool, about 10 minutes.

  3. Mix Cheddar cheese, fontina cheese, seasoned salt, garlic powder, and black pepper into potatoes until well combined. Shape 2 tablespoons of potato mixture at a time into thick disk shapes.

  4. Pour flour into a bowl. Whisk eggs together in a separate bowl. Pour panko into a separate bowl. Roll potato disks in flour, coat with egg, and roll in panko.

  5. Heat 2 inches oil in a heavy skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry tots in batches until crispy and golden, about 4 minutes. Cool on a paper towel-lined tray, about 5 minutes. Season with salt.

Recipe Yield

48 tots

Recipe Note

These aren't your average tots! Loaded with cheese, they're yummy on their own or dipped in your favorite sauce. They freeze well for later use as well!
