Tater Tot Arancini
- Level: Easy
- Total: 30 min
- Prep: 15 min
- Cook: 15 min
- Yield: 12 servings
Ingredients
1 pound (about 3 cups) frozen Tater Tots
1 large egg
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut into 12 cubes
1/3 cup breadcrumbs
Kosher salt
Vegetable oil, for deep-frying
Warmed marinara sauce, for serving
Directions
- Put the Tater Tots in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave until slightly thawed, about 4 minutes. Let cool, then lightly mash with your hands. Stir in the egg and flour. Form the mixture into twelve 1 1/2-inch balls with damp hands.
- Make an indentation in the middle of each ball and stuff with a mozzarella cube; form the Tater Tot mixture around the cheese to cover.
- Combine the breadcrumbs and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a shallow dish. Heat 3 inches of vegetable oil in a large wide pot over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Working in batches, roll the balls in the breadcrumbs and fry until golden, about 8 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain; season with salt. Serve with marinara sauce.
