Equipment
- Oven
- Box grater
Ingredients
- 1 large Zucchini grated
- 2 small Potato
- ½ cup Shredded cheese I used Mexican blend cheese
- 2 tablespoon Bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoon All purpose flour if needed
- 1 ½ teaspoon Garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon Chili powder optional
- to taste Salt
- to taste Pepper
- to grease Olive oil
Instructions
- Grate the zucchini and place it in a thick kitchen towel.
- Wring out the towel with the zucchini inside to remove as much as moisture from the zucchini. You just have to squeeze it really hard as zucchini has quite a bit of liquid. Place the squeezed zucchini in a wide bowl.
- Boil the potatoes until they are fork tender and grate it in the same bowl as the zucchini.
- Add the seasonings, bread crumbs and the cheese and mix well to combine. The dough should be stiff when combined. If not, add all purpose flour, one tablespoon at a time to make stiff dough.
- Form tight, small cylinders and place it in a well greased baking sheet.
- Brush the shaped tots with olive oil and bake them in a preheated 425 F oven for about 25 minutes. At about half way through the baking process, take the tots out and flip them over so that the other side cooks.
- Serve the Zucchini Potato Tots warm with ketchup!
