TWISTER TATERS

TWISTER TATERS

My creation TWISTER TATERS is inspired from Tater Tots, an American Snack, popular for its unique taste and crispiness. It is made from deep fried grated potatoes with seasoning. The Tater Tots are crispy from the exterior and their cylindrical shape makes them something special to enjoy with tea.

This snack was introduced in 1953 in the USA. It is a very popular dish and approximately 70 million pounds of Tater Tots are consumed per year in the USA.

Tater is an abbreviation of Potato and Tots is because it is much loved by the kids, hence the word Tots for the Kids. This snack is common in lunch boxes of school children in the USA but now its popularity has reached all over the World.

Basically, these Tots are less spicy but we can add a few spices and change them according to our own atmosphere and taste. Here I am making these Tots with a Twist, adding beaten Eggs in boiled potatoes with some flour. The tricky part of all preparation is making and shaping the Tots as the dough becomes very sticky after addition of beaten eggs but with the help of a spoon, I managed to coat them in Bread Crumbs and then shaped them. 

I am going to give my visitors a very simple homemade recipe with a twist, these are TWISTER TATERS and not Tater Tots as there is some change in its recipe, I have added eggs in the batter, which made it more sticky than the actual Tater Tots, but the result is fabulous.These can be prepared and enjoyed at home without any hassle of going to big superstores and pay a bit more than what they deserve.

I have planned to give you the recipe of Tater Tots as they are prepared in the USA very soon.
