Baked Zucchini Potato Tots

To make this recipe, you will need: 2 parboiled russet potatoes, 2 zucchini (I used 1 green and 1 yellow), 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and chili powder (optional).

One thing to keep in mind is that regardless of the method you use to shape the tots, be sure to grease your pan VERY well or the tots will stick in the oven. If you have a parchment paper use it instead because it works much better, but also to lightly grease it as well just to be safe.

Another thing to keep in mind is that you must allow the tots to cook all the way through on the first side before you try flipping them because they firm up as they cook and release from the pan as well.

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 medium russet potatoes
• zucchini you can also use squash
• 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese optional
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder or paprika optional
• salt and pepper to taste
• Olive oil for greasing and brushing

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Place the potatoes in a large pan and cover with cold water. Boil the water and cook the potatoes for 10-15 minutes. You don't want the potatoes to overcook because you will still chop and bake them. Dry the water and let the potatoes cool until they are comfortable to hold. You can put it in cold to cold water if you want to dry it well.
2. Grate zucchini on the large side of the grater then place it on a paper towel or dish cloth and drain as much water as you can out of it. Next grate the potatoes. Place the grated zucchini and potatoes into a medium bowl, add about 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon chili powder. Gently combine all the ingredients with your hands while trying to keep the shape of the grated potatoes.
3. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper or grease very well with olive oi/cooking spray. Use your hands to form small cylinders with the mixture. Use about 1 tablespoon per tater tot. Place the cookie sheet in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes to allow them to firm up.
4. As soon as you place the tots in the freezer, continue and heat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
5. Brush the top of each tater tot with a small amount of olive oil and sprinkle each one with salt. Bake tater tots until browned a crispy, about 30 minutes flipping halfway though.
