Test Kitchen Advice
Nicole McLaughlin, often known as NicoleMcMom, is a test kitchen specialist and
culinary producer. She says, "You can make a lot of tater tots for not a
lot of money." Here are a few of her go-to methods for consistently
flawless tots:
The potatoes shouldn't be overdone. They will not shred as easily if you boil
them for an extended period of time, as if you were making mashed potatoes.
You can cook the potatoes in the microwave instead of boiling them to save
time.
Gently drop the tots into the heated oil using a slotted spoon, if you have
one. This will stop splashing.
