Ingredients
Substitution
Note
Ingredients for up to 5 servings:
- 6 medium red potatoes (~1000g)
- 1/3 cup goat cheese
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 green onions chopped
- Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon garlic paste
- 1 tablespoon sea salt
- generous portion of ground pepper to taste
- Tater tot coating:
- 2 egg whites (optional, but recommended)
- 3/4 cup wheat bread crumbs (or wheat panko crumbs or crushed baked potato chips)
Steps
Step 1
Set oven to 410F.
Step 2
Wash red potatoes under cold water to remove dirt and place them on a baking sheet. Bake in the oven for about 45 minutes or until they are soft.
Step 3
Allow the red potatoes to cool and then place them in a bowl. Mash them using a potato masher or a mallet.
Step 4
Toss in the goat cheese, green onions and seasonings. Continue to mash and mix together.
Step 5
In two separate bowls add wheat bread crumbs and two egg whites.
Step 6
Use a measuring tablespoon to scoop out the red potato mixture. Roll the mash into a ball and then form it as a tater tot.
Step 7
Dip the tot in egg whites, then the breadcrumbs and then place it on a baking sheet. Repeat until all of the mashed potato has been used.
Step 8
Bake in the oven for 30 minutes at 410F. Remember to flip the tots over after 15 minutes of baking in order to ensure even cooking.
Step 9
Once finished baking, allow the tots to cool slightly before serving; but, they should be enjoyed hot.
