HOW TO MAKE TATER TOTS AT HOME 2.0 | Super Easy Recipe

[@KitchenCraftFood]

These tots are so much better than what you can buy at the store. Give it a try!

[@WTAE1982]

During this time, I have been looking for new things to try. Just added this to my list.

[@KitchenCraftFood]

Awesome. No tricks to the recipe. It's pretty simple straight-forward. The most difficult step is to maintain consistent oil temp.

[@Shellyshocked]

A lot of other totts recipes on KZbin make this so much more of a process. I'm glad you kept it simple and quick.

[@KitchenCraftFood]

Version 1.0 was much more complicated 🙂.

[@Shellyshocked]

@@KitchenCraftFood I made your totts recipe tonight with my smash burgers and they were delicious ty 🥰 but now I'm intrigued by what totts 1.0 are.

[@ToddMLewis]

I just came across your channel and I’ve been binge watching tour videos like crazy. I have no idea how you don’t have hundreds of thousands or millions of subscribers. Your channel is one of the best cooking channels I’ve found on KZbin. Keep up the great work.

[@KitchenCraftFood]

Wow! Thanks so much. I really appreciate the kind words and support. Stay well!

[@andreadangelo7083]

These look so fun to make! On a rainy Oregon day! That's so much, love your style!

[@KitchenCraftFood]

My son and I like to make them together. It's a fun project!

[@nolenl1503]

Yummy always creative god give you health and wellness thanks for the best chef in the world thanks for all recipes

[@hersheyqueenlisa]

Looks great! Have you tried air frying them?

[@carolinagallegos7004]

I came from the first tot video and I loved it but it wasn’t quite the type of tater tot I wanted and I scroll two videos down, find your second one and got exactly what I was looking for in a great video. I don’t usually suscribe but man you sure deserve it ♥️

[@KitchenCraftFood]

Thanks so much for the support. I really appreciate it!

[@gymwars1244]

Great recipe and I like the new format. Lets your personality come through along with the cooking skill!

[@KitchenCraftFood]

Thanks! Still getting used to the new format so hopefully I'll get better at it as I produce more videos.

[@mrkrasker9609]

Hi Tim, I'm redoing my kitchen and i am going to put in wood counter tops. Your counter tops look grate, what wood did you use? Have you had any problems with an under counter sink instillation?

[@KitchenCraftFood]

We used oak for our countertops and I finished them with a product called Waterlox. They've held up well for the last four years, but now it's time to refinish. We've had zero issues with water damage around the sink and the under-mount sink wasn't an issue at all to install. Just make sure whoever is routing out the hole for the basin is good at it. They only have one shot!

[@zoeycodrington3417]

Thank you for making this great video. I am happy that I found a simple tater tot recipe!

[@etherdog]

Great method, Tim! I imagine the spritzing with vinegar also helps set the pectins in the potato as well and helps promote crunchy exteriors. It reminds me of making sushi rice where a little rice wine vinegar and mirin are mixed with the rice as it cools and helps prevent too much stickiness.

[@teslagirlM]

insanely good! I haven't thought of tater tots in a long time, as I have lived in the UK for a long time, but man, this brought me back to being a kid..but better! They were seriously perfect. Thank you for another great little recipe. For anyone in the UK, we don't seem to have wondra here, so I heated up bread flour in a tiny pan, and it worked perfectly. :)

[@KitchenCraftFood]

Nice tip for those who can't find Wondra. Thanks!

[@TheRestaurantAcademy]

This was very insightful. Thanks for the video.

[@KitchenCraftFood]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Bullzi009]

Those look SO GOOD

[@KitchenCraftFood]

BULLZI 009 They’re delicious!

[@giselsilva]

After you make the cylinders do you put them in the fridge or freezer before frying or they go into the oil at room temperature?

[@KitchenCraftFood]

In the video I keep them at room temp, but they'll probably set up a little better if you refrigerate the cylinders for 30 minutes or so.

[@giselsilva]

@@KitchenCraftFood great, thanks!

[@ForbiddenChocolate]

@@giselsilva thanks for asking, I was wondering the same thing!

[@JamesFleming1]

Have you tried putting the ring mold in a pastry bag (or ziplock bag w/a cut corner) and extruding them?

[@anthonywilliams2545]

NICE!

[@charlie_u.k.]

Thanks!!!

[@obduliadelatoba6105]

Me encanta esa cuchara!!!!

[@ryanspencerlauderdale687]

I wonder if baking the potatoes would help with having less water retention later on in the process.

[@adityabiyani387]

super super nice

[@kresimircosic9035]

That looks amazing. :P

[@KitchenCraftFood]

Thank you!

[@kimfab5]

What neutral flavored oil did you use?

[@KitchenCraftFood]

Oh man, can't remember exactly. Peanut or Grapeseed oil probably.

[@nehuslifestyl5366]

Soo yummy😍

[@obduliadelatoba6105]

Que bonito delantar

[@klh2240]

Soooooo good l like it

[@24-Card]

Finally (2yrs ago), someone looked at “production”. In 2023, I can’t find tater tots (for a reasonable price, ) at all. So, twenty pounds of ‘taters later, they only cost time (with my wife, my life partner). I don’t see a downside to any of this!

[@dragonheartmomma616]

Do you have to use flour ?

[@obduliadelatoba6105]

Se ven realmente 😋 deliciosas yo las he preguntado pero les pongo huevo por temor a que se deshagan al freírlas

[@heyykid1]

Can you air-fry them???

[@KitchenCraftFood]

Wish I could confirm, but I don't have an air fryer. Worth a try though.

[@pogchamp7983]

Can't recycle cling film. Is there something else that could be used?

[@KitchenCraftFood]

Possibly parchment or wax paper, but it might tear. Try the ring method if you have one that small. Works great!

[@TheKrispyfort]

I use a bamboo chopstick instead of a paring knife.

[@cookwithme7068]

They look like little clouds!

[@adrianfletcher8963]

Which version do you think is better if you didn't mind the method ? In other words are there any advantages of doing v1

[@KitchenCraftFood]

There are differences in the texture. I prefer version #1's texture...crispier with more pronounced bits of potato for better texture. The trade off is the difficulty level. Version #2 is much much easier.

[@richmeier]

The ring mold looks like it was used for some other substances

[@KitchenCraftFood]

It’s called oxidation.

[@authenticarkansas]

Hot tots...it’s not the same unless you burn your tastebuds off by not waiting long enough 😆

[@KitchenCraftFood]

Lora Waloski happens to me every time.

[@authenticarkansas]

@@KitchenCraftFood always! Do you think this recipe work the same if I steamed the whole potatoes in my pressure cooker? I'm at almost 5,000ft altitude these days so everything takes longer to cook when simmered unless I pressurize it.

[@alierikenoglu8006]

Alternatively, you can buy the 3 pound bag of tater tots from Walmart for $2.19 and have enough for a month.

[@KitchenCraftFood]

Guilty as charged, but there’s no fun in that.

[@alierikenoglu8006]

@@KitchenCraftFood ...Please don't get me wrong, I found your video well done, informative and give it a thumbs up...but when you have to spend that much time, resource, energy and effort to transform 47¢ worth of potato into 28 tots...well... Nevertheless, your efforts, high production quality and kindness are very evident...Thank you :)

[@lwilliams182]

Salt?

[@KitchenCraftFood]

Plenty of salt in the tots. No need to season afterward.

[@markhooton2569]

Ok, in the last video, version 1.0, you said that pre-cookng the potatoes made the tots soggy. Now, you cook or par-boil them and don't say why you changed your mind

[@KitchenCraftFood]

It’s a trade off for ease of preparation.

[@markhooton2569]

@@KitchenCraftFood ok, thats fair and you dont freeze the tubes this recipe either. Thanks

[@chickenlady1996]

Too much work for me. I would only do this if I was making it in mass production. I might do this sometime with a 15 pound bag of potatoes. I would roll them up stick them in the freezer and get them out as much as I need until they were gone.

[@KitchenCraftFood]

If you think this is too much work, you should check out my original tater tots recipe!
