Homemade Tater Tots!




I turned some so-so potato salad into some really fun fried treats!

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups potato salad (easy on the mayo) with chopped onions
1/2 to 3/4 cup all purpose flour
1 egg (beaten)
1 medium-sized peeled and shredded potato
1 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 cup canola oil

Puree potato salad. Mix with flour, egg, shredded potato and spices until thoroughly combined. Heat oil in a skillet until it shimmers. Drop tablespoonfuls of potato mixture into hot oil and cook until golden brown and crispy on both sides. Enjoy with homemade ketchup.
