Ingredients

for 9 large tots

1 block low-moisture mozzarella, small block
12 slices pepperoni
3 ½ cups
hash brown (680 g)
1 tablespoon
italian seasoning
1 tablespoon
salt
1 tablespoon
garlic powder
1 egg, beaten
oil, for frying
marinara sauce, for dipping

Preparation

Cut block of mozzarella into small cubes, about a ½ inch (1½ cm).
Cut pepperoni in half.
In a mixing bowl, combine hash browns, Italian seasoning, salt, garlic powder, and egg. Mix well.
Grab a small handful of the hash brown mixture and flatten out in the palm of your hand.
Place 1 or 2 slices of pepperoni and a cube of cheese on top.
Fold the hash brown mixture around the cheese and pepperoni. Squeeze and compress until the mixture completely covers the filling and stays in a cylindrical form. Repeat until all of the mixture is used.
Freeze tots for 20+ minutes.
In a large saucepan, heat oil to 350˚F (180˚C). Fry tots in batches, three at a time, until golden brown. Drain on paper towel.
Serve immediately with marinara sauce.
Enjoy!

Tips

Potatoes once mixed with ingredients way too watery and did not bind very well. Tried 3, fell apart in the fryer so killed that idea. Attempted to put it in the oven and hash burned on tips. Rest not cooked. Against better judgment and despite reducing ratio, spice ratio was way too intense. Not a novice cook but was way too trusting of these instructions.

Couldn’t even complete the recipe. The hash brown mixture would not stick because it was too watery. Gave up after many, many attempts.

When trying the Tots the hash brown broke apart... and the ingredients was to much salt.. other than that the pizza Tots would of taste better.
