Homemade Tater Tots with Spicy Mayo

• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 Tablespoons Hot Chile Paste
• 1 Tablespoon Sriracha
• 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
• 4 whole Medium-sized Russet Potatoes, Rinsed And Dried
• 13 cups Whole Milk
• 2 Tablespoons Sour Cream
• 2 Tablespoons Chives, Chopped
• 13 cups Italian-Style Breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cups Panko Bread Crumbs
• 1/4 cups Parmesan Cheese, Grated
• 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 1/2 teaspoons Cayenne Pepper
• 1 teaspoon Cracked Black Pepper
• 1 teaspoon Fine Sea Salt
• 2 whole Large Eggs, Beaten
• 1 whole Large Egg Yolk, Beaten
• Oil, Vegetable Or Canola, For Frying (enough For About 1 Inch In Your Frying Pot)

1. To prepare the spicy mayo, add all of the mayo ingredients to a small bowl.
2. Whisk to combine.
3. Set aside or place in the fridge until you are ready to use it.
4. It will store in the fridge for about a week.
5. For the tater tots: Preheat your oven to 400 F and prick your potatoes with a fork.
6. Bake the potatoes for 35-40 minutes until they are just tender, but not mushy.
7. Remove from the oven and place immediately in the fridge to cool for at least 30 minutes.
8. Once your potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel off the skin if you wish, and grate them on a coarse cheese grater or with a stand mixer attachment.
9. Place the grated potatoes in a large bowl.
10. Into the large bowl, add milk, sour cream, chives, Italian-style breadcrumbs, panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, cracked black pepper and salt.
11. Fold the ingredients to combine, being careful to not mash the potatoes.
12. You want them to stay in a shredded consistency.
13. Add the eggs and egg yolk, and again fold to moisten.
14. Form the tater tot batter into 1 tablespoon-sized balls and place on a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper.
15. Stick the tater tots directly into the freezer for 20-30 minutes.
16. While your tater tots are chilling, add your oil to a Dutch oven, filling it about 1-inch up the side of the pan.
17. Heat the oil over medium heat to a temperature of 350 F.
18. Take one tater tot and place it in the hot oil to test.
19. It should immediately begin to sizzle.
20. If it doesnt, the oil isnt hot enough.
21. Brown for 4-5 minutes on each side.
22. Repeat this step for the rest of the tots, frying about 4-5 at a time as to not crowd the pan or bring down the temperature of the oil.
23. Transfer the tots to a paper towel-lined plate to get rid of any excess grease.
24. Season with salt and serve immediately with spicy mayo.
25. Enjoy!
26. Note: Inactive prep time is 1 hour.
