Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb ground beef
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon pepper
salt, to taste
⅓ cup ketchup
4 cups potato, grated
2 tablespoons flour
8 oz cheddar cheese cube
oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and break up into smaller bits using a spoon or spatula.
  • Add the cayenne, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, pepper, and salt, then mix until evenly incorporated.
  • Add ketchup. Mix thoroughly allowing beef to cook all the way through.
  • Remove the pan from heat, and drain excess fat.
  • Add the grated potatoes to a bowl, and add in the flour and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir to combine.
  • Using the palm of your hand, spread 1 tablespoon of the potatoes into a thin pancake.
  • Add 1 teaspoon of the beef, then press a cheese cube into the middle.
  • Fold potato over beef and cheese, then create a fist around the tot while using your opposite hand to flatten both sides, creating the cylindrical tot form.
  • Heat vegetable oil over high heat until temperature reaches 360˚F (182˚C).
  • Fry the tots in batches for about 5 minutes, until golden brown.
  • Transfer fried tots to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!
