Cheesy Mushroom Tater Tots (Dirty Tots)

  • Prep Time: 20 minutes
  • Cook Time: 40 minutes
  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: About 18 tater tots 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large red or golden potatoes
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil or melted butter
  • 12 cloves of garlic
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup matchstick carrots, chopped a bit
  • 4 oz. good melting cheese (I used Havarti & sharp cheddar), cut into small chunks
  • Red Robin Seasoning (or salt) & freshly ground pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 F. Spray a large baking sheet and a mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
  2. Peel & shred the potatoes using a box grater. Put the potatoes in a layer on a clean towel and squeeze out the excess moisture, then toss the potatoes with the oil in a bowl. Spread the potatoes out onto the baking sheet in a thin layer and put in the oven to bake for about 15 minutes or until they are cooked through and the edges are starting to brown a little.
  3. Meanwhile, put the garlic, mushrooms, carrots & cheese into a mini food processor and process until everything is cut into small chunks. Pour this mixture into a mixing bowl, add the potatoes (when they are done cooking), and stir to mix it all up well. Season to taste with Red Robin Seasoning & fresh ground pepper.
  4. Increase the oven temp. to 425 F. Spoon the mixture into the mini muffin tin, pushing down to compress. Fill each hold fully, letting it mound up a bit.
  5. Bake at 425 for about 25 minutes, or until the tots are crispy and very brown.
