Homemade ‘Tato Bites

  5.0 – 8 reviews  • Vegan
These are inspired by one of my favorite drive-thru breakfast treats, but with my twist, of course. I add a kiss of sweetness with sweet potato and a hint of spice with my house seasoning.
Level: Intermediate
Total: 1 hr 10 min
Active: 40 min
Yield: 4 to 6 servings (about 42 potato bites)

Ingredients

  1. 1 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled
  2. 8 ounces sweet potatoes, peeled
  3. Vegetable oil, for frying
  4. 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  5. 1 tablespoon Miss Brown’s House Seasoning
  6. Ketchup, for serving
  7. 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  8. 1 teaspoon onion powder
  9. 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  10. 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  11. 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add the potatoes and sweet potatoes and boil until they can be easily pierced with a knife, but still have some resistance in the center, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain and let cool.
  2. Use a box grater to finely shred the cooled potatoes into a large bowl. If necessary, remove any excess water by pressing the shredded potatoes with paper towels.
  3. Pour 2 inches of the oil into a large Dutch oven. Heat the oil until it registers 350 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer.
  4. Meanwhile, stir the flour and Miss Brown’s House Seasoning into the potatoes. Shape the potatoes into 42 discs, about 1 teaspoon of potato mixture per disc. Working in batches, fry the potato bites until browned and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined wire rack to drain and cool. Keep warm in a low oven or serve immediately with ketchup.
  5. Stir together the garlic powder, onion powder, sweet paprika, pepper and salt in a small bowl. Store in an airtight container. 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons

when cooking root vegetables by boiling them you start root vegetables in a cold pan with cold water and bring the entire pot to a boil and then cook until fork tender…..this allows even cooking through out…

good recipe…yummy
