HOMEMADE TATER TOTS GLUTEN-FREE
Making homemade tater tots gluten-free is very simple and affordable. Furthermore, these homemade tater tots taste better than store-bought and frozen tots.

Another great thing about these homemade tater tots is that you can use leftovers to make them. For example, if you have mashed potatoes and don’t want to go to waste; then you can make this fun recipe and reduce food too.
TATER TOTS SEASONINGS
One of the great things about this homemade tater tots recipe is that you can season them with dried and fresh herbs and spices besides the classic tater tots with black pepper and salt. Therefore, these seasoned tater tots are a delightful culinary adventure where you can try lovely aromatic ingredients.
- Onion powder.

In addition to these flavorful seasonings, you can give more flavor to these homemade tater tots when you deep-fried them; for example, by using avocado oil or canola oil.
GLUTEN FREE TATER TOTS
Normally, this recipe is not gluten-free; however, making this great recipe gluten-free is not only easy but the result is yummy too. Sometimes, when we want to make a recipe replacing gluten ingredients with gluten-free flour can be a challenge and in many cases, the food texture or taste is far from being nice. But even though you can use and try gluten-free flour I do not recommend some of them as it will affect the flavor and texture of the homemade tots; such as almond flour. Instead, I used starch and the texture of the tater-tot was amazing.
So, if you have celiac disease, intolerance to gluten ingredients or you want to reduce your gluten intake this is a great recipe to try.

HOMEMADE TATER TOTS GLUTEN FREE
This delicious tater tots recipe is soft inside and chunky on the outside. Also, these super tasty tater tots are easy to make, gluten-free, and affordable.
Ingredients
- 550 gr. of Russet potatoes.
- A pinch of Salt.
- ½ Tsp. of Garlic powder.
- 2 Tbsp. of Corn starch.
- ½ Tsp. of Himalayan salts.
- A handful of freshly chopped parley.
- Olive oil for deep fry.
Instructions
POTATO MIXTURE
- Wash and peel the potatoes and place them in a Dutch oven (if you don't have a Dutch oven you can use a cooking pot).
- You don't have to get fully cooked potatoes just parboiled potatoes. Drain the water rinse with cold water and let them cool completely.
- With a box grater grate the potatoes (you can also use a food processor). Bear in mind they might be a bit sticky.
- Once you have the grated potatoes or shredded potatoes place them in a large bowl.
- Add the garlic powder, cornstarch, and salt. Mix well with a spoon or your hands.
TATER TOTS
- Take a portion of the potato mixture (tablespoon or large chunks) and make your tater tots with a round shape, or the shape you want.
- I cook my tater tots by deep frying them in hot oil (I used olive oil).
- Cook them until golden brown.
- Place them on a paper towel-lined plate. Let the paper towels absorb the excess olive oil. You can use a deep fryer also*.
- Then, place them on a serving plate and sprinkle some chopped fresh parsley.
Notes
*Other cooking options that you can try besides deep frying are air fryer or baking in the oven, on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
If you are making this recipe in advance or you have leftovers, once the tater tots have cool completely place them in an airtight container and keep refrigerated for a couple of days.
