Step 1

Boil the potatoes for 8 minutes, then pour off the water and set the potatoes aside to cool for at least 15 minutes

Step 2

Grate the potatoes.

Step 3

Mix together corn starch, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl.

Step 4

Place grated potatoes and the mixed seasoning in a bowl and mix together. Use your hands and knead it like a dough for about 1 minute. When it holds together and resembles a dough, it's done.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 25 parts and create tots by grabbing a piece of dough and squeezing it gently in your hand. Use a tiny bit of water on your fingers to avoid the dough sticking to them. Repeat until you've made all the tots. Meanwhile, preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).

Step 6

Place the tots in a bowl and pour over the oil. Mix gently to avoid breaking apart the tots.

Step 7

Place tots in a single layer in the air fryer basket and air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes. Remove the basket every 5 minutes and shake gently to turn them.

Step 8

Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce!

Step 9

Place on a baking sheet lined with aluminium foil and bake in a preheated oven for 20 minutes at 400°F (200°C), turning them carefully halfway.

Step 10

Place on a paper towel to soak up any excess oil, then serve!
