Goldfish® Xtra Cheesy Tater Tots

 

Difficulty:  Easy 
Total Time: 35 minutes 

Servings: 20 tots 

 

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons neutral flavored oil, like grape seed or canola
• 1 1/2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into rough 1-inch chunks (about 2 potatoes)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons finely minced parsley, optional
• 1 oz sharp white cheddar cheese, finely grated (about 1/3 cup)

• Fresh ground black pepper

 

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and grease with half of the oil.
2. Add peeled potatoes to a food processor and pulse until chopped into tiny pieces
3. Wrap the dish towel around the processed potatoes and squeeze well to remove as much liquid as possible, then add to a microwave-safe bowl heat for 1-2 minutes
4. Sprinkle the salt, onion powder, cornstarch, parsley, cheese, Goldfish® powder, and a few grinds of black pepper into the potatoes and stir to combine
