Homemade Vegan Tater Tots
Ingredients
- 600g Potatoes
- 1 tablespoon Flax seeds
- 4 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1/2 cup Vegan Cheese
- Salt and pepper
- 2 cups Panko bread crumbs
- 1 cup oil for frying
Preparation
Peel and cook the potatoes in boiling water for around 20 minutes until soft. Allow to cool. Meanwhile, mix flax seeds with water and set aside.
Place the potatoes in a medium-size bowl and mash well with a fork. Add turmeric powder, baking powder, vegan cheese, and the flax seeds mixture. Optionally, add more cheese if you want them extra cheesy. Season with salt and pepper. Mix it all very well together. The potato mix will be sticky and wet.
Spoon around 1 teaspoon of potato dough and add into a tray or bowl with Panko bread crumbs. Cover them carefully and shape into squares or your preferred shape. See pictures below. The shapes do not need to be perfect.
Cook the potato tots in oil in a small saucepan. Carefully add in the tots 3-4 at a time. Leave to cook until crispy and golden, moving and flipping halfway through. Once cooked, place on a plate with paper towels to drain the oil.
Serve them directly with ketchup, mayo, or mustard sauce and additional herbs, if desired. Don't forget to drizzle with salt and pepper.
