Instructions

[I microwaved the potatoes in the potato mode. (I have the potato setting)]
Basically we need to boil the potatoes. You can do it in your comfortable way.
Let it cool down and peel the skin and mash them.
Now onion powder, paprika and mix well.
Then add the cheese and mix again.
Now start making small cylindrical shapes or round shapes or any shape of your choice.
Place these tater tots in the baking tray and bake them for 20 minutes on one side.
After 20 minutes, let it cool for couple of minutes so that you can easily flip them over.
Now flip them and bake again at 350 degree F for 15 more minutes are until they turn crisp.
That’s it. Baked tater tots are ready. Serve hot with ketchup.
Notes
As I mentioned boil the potatoes in your comfortable method. Adjust the salt depending upon the cheese you use. (I used the organic Mexican blend for this) To this you can add chat masala, mint and play with the flavors.
