Extra Crispy Spud Buds
I love crispy potatoes, and tots are no exception. Yesterday I was going to make a batch of smashed potatoes, but other obligations got in the way. I kept thinking about'em, though, and wondered how smashed Potato Tots might be. And that's what you see on the plate.
Heated the tots in the microwave for about three minutes ... put 'em on parchment paper placed on a tray. When the oven beeped, I pulled out the tots on the parchment paper and put it directly on a sheet pan, separated and smashed 'em and baked in the Breville until nice and crispy. A little habanero hot sauce after the fact added some more flavor. Man ... they turned out well, and going forward I'll refine the technique. If you like crispy potatoes, and enjoy tots, this may be worth a try ...
