I think it would probably work okay. They wouldn't get quite as crunchy but that's how you cook frozen tater tots... You're right... just drizzle on some oil and give it a shot. You'll probably have to bake them for 30 minutes or so to get a good crust. Let me know if you try it out! Yea… I think it would probably work okay.

I'm wondering what you think about baking them, perhaps drizzled with a little oil, instead of frying? Possible? Would it ruin the consistency too much? Love the idea so much!

I did a random Google search for homemade tator tots because I was too lazy to go to the store, lol, and stumbled upon this site, and I'm so glad I did!! I am a new fan!! I used Panko, and hubby and brother ate 'em up like it was Superbowl food!! I see a lot of things I want to try in here!! One question, Nick...where is your recipe for that chili sauce that you have pictured here to dip the tots in?? The chili sauce that you can buy at the stores around here look nothing like that, and yours looks yummy!! YUM!!!

Vinegary sweet stuff just doesn't mix well with anything for me. I also dislike mayo. Hot sauce and ranch for me. Forgot one thing: I hate ketchup too, man.

I actually did similar to yours, but instead of mashing, I grated them. After grating, I sprinked a good helping of cheese and hand-tossed them. Granted, I cooked the potatoes for a long time, much longer than you would probably want for mashed and then dipped them in some bisquick. I made it a lot thinner than the usual biscuit mix, probably 1:1.2 milk:bisquick mix then dropped them into the fryer. Sadly, my fryer doesn't have settings so I had to play it a bit by ear. They came out pretty decent once I added a little salt and garlic to the bisquick mix and they're extremely puffy. Was trying to replicate the Burger King cheesy tots recipe, but I'll be trying this version next time. It won't be an exact copy of the Burger King stuff, but I never did like the idea of doing exactly what someone else did.
