How to kick tater tots up a notch | Food Production and Preservation | Forums

I am going to test these on my daughter

Ingredients:

• 2 cups tater tots
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup flour
• 2 tbsp chopped basil
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 lb ground beef
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp pepper
• 1/2 tbsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tbsp paprika
• 1 Cheddar cheese block

Recipe:

Mix tater tots, egg, flour, basil, & 1 tsp salt until mixture is uniform. Add more flour if too sticky, or a little water if too dry. Combine beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until thoroughly mixed. Cut cheddar cheese into 1/2 inch cubes.

Take about 1 tbsp of the beef mixture and wrap it around the cube until completely covered. Take about 2 tbsp of the tater tot mixture and wrap it around the beef until completely covered. Roll into a cylindrical shape, and fry the tots in hot oil for about 1 minute per side, until golden brown.
