- 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup Bacon cooked & chopped into 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 bunch green onions thinly sliced
- 1 egg beaten
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Breading
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 6 eggs beaten with 1 tablespoon of cold water
- 4 cups panko breadcrumbs
Cooking and Serving
- Canola oil for frying
- coarse salt to taste
- 1/2 cup sour cream to serve

Instructions
Potato Mixture
- Place the potatoes, cheeses, bacon, green onion, and egg into a large bowl and mix together with a rubber spatula.
- Sprinkle the cornstarch, flour, salt, and pepper over the mixture, and gently fold to combine.
- Line a baking sheet (that will fit in your freezer) with foil and sprinkle lightly with flour.
- Scoop walnut-sized spoonfuls of the potato mixture onto the prepared baking sheet spaced evenly apart.
- Place into the freezer for approximately 30 minutes to allow them to harden but not freeze completely.
- Remove the baking sheet from the freezer and gently roll the potato mixture into “tot shape.”
- Place the baking sheet back into freezer to freeze completely.
Breading
- To bread the tots, place the flour, egg, and panko breadcrumbs into three separate containers.
- Remove the tots from the freezer and, working in batches, dredge them in the flour, shaking off any excess.
- Then dip them into the egg, draining off any excess.
- Dredge them in the breadcrumbs, coating completely.
- Repeat until all tots are breaded.
Cooking and Serving
- Heat the oil to 350°F.
- Working in batches, fry the tots for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until hot throughout.
- Remove the tots from the oil and drain over paper towels.
- Season with salt while still hot.
- Serve with sour cream and sriracha mayo, and enjoy!
