Homemade Tater Tots

I got this amazing recipe from this blog and these tots look better then any other ones I've ever seen!







You add some eggs and flour to bind the potatoes and then they are rolled in crispy breadcrumbs before being deep fried to a golden brown. These were unbelievably good, and as I write this I have a sick tummy ache from eating way too much….
