Description
Crispy and creamy cottage cheese tots, perfect for snacks or as a side dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup shredded potatoes
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, shredded potatoes, salt, and pepper. Mix well with a fork or spatula until evenly distributed.
- With clean hands, take a small amount of the mixture and form it into small tots or patties.
- In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat until shimmering. Test if it’s hot enough by dropping a small amount of the mixture into the oil; it should sizzle.
- Carefully place the formed tots into the hot oil and fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.
- Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove the tots from the skillet and let them drain on paper towels. Serve warm.
Notes
These tots can be customized with different herbs or cheese alternatives.
