Ingredients Serving: 6

  1. 2 pounds potatoes, peeled
  2. 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  3. 2 tbsp finely chopped onions
  4. 1 tsp dried oregano
  5. Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  6. 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  7. Oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil and cook until parboiled.
  2. Drain well and allow to cool, at least to the point you can handle them.
  3. Finely shred potatoes on a fine box grater.
  4. Put the potatoes into a kitchen towel and squeeze out the excess liquid. Transfer the potatoes into a bowl.
  5. Add flour, onion and oregano; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Mix gently. The mixture should be workable but dry.
  6. Form potatoes into tots.
  7. Heat oil in a pan.
  8. Add tots to the pan, 4 or 5 at a time, and cook until evenly golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  9. Next place tots in an oven proof dish or pan. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese and place it in the oven for 2-3 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
  10. Once cheese has melted, remove from the oven, drizzle with ketchup, and serve right away.
