Yield 20 tots

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 green plantains
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon chili powder
4 slices mozzarella cheese
4 hot dogs, or other preferred sausage
oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Grate the green plantains into a large mixing bowl.
  • Add salt, pepper, and chili powder, and mix to combine.
  • Wrap one slice of cheese around a hot dog link and cut into fifths.
  • Take one tablespoon of your plantain mixture and encase one slice of the cheese-wrapped hot dog, shaping into a cylindrical "tot."
  • Repeat until all slices are covered and shaped, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze one hour.
  • In a large pot over medium-high heat, heat your oil to 375ºF (190ºC).
  • Drop four to five tots into the oil and fry until golden brown, about one to two minutes.
  • Place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
  • Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce!
