Duck Fat Tater Tots

Ingredients:

  • 3 russet Idaho® potatoes, 1 quart shredded
  • 2 cups of duck fat*

Directions:

  1. In a medium to large saucepan, combine potatoes and fat.
  2. Stir on low heat (250-300°F) for about 5 minutes. Do not overcook
  3. Strain potatoes from fat – keep leftover fat for another use.
  4. Transfer to a plastic-lined sheet tray and cover with plastic.
  5. Press with another tray on top and chill overnight.
  6. Cut to the desired size and toss in the freezer until frozen solid.
  7. Fry in 325°F oil (I used rice oil), making sure not to overfill the pot.
  8. Fry until golden brown and enjoy.
