  • ¼ cup flour
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 2 scallions, finely chopped

Instructions
  1. Heat about two inches of canola oil in a large deep pot or deep fryer, to about 375 degrees.
  2. Peel skin off hot potatoes. Send half through a ricer and grate half on a hand held grater. (If you do not have a ricer, just grate all of them)
  3. Add in the rest of the ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not over mix.
  4. Form into tater tot shapes. Place on a baking sheet and chill in the freezer for 10 minutes. Working in batches fry about six at a time, until golden brown and hot throughout. Drain on paper towels.
