Kickin Jalapeno Tater Tots 5fix Recipes

TIKKA CHICKEN JALAPENO POPPERS

Steps:

• Combine yogurt, garam masala, chicken masala, coriander, ginger-garlic paste, chili powder, turmeric, and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
• Slice chicken breasts into small strips that will fit on halved jalapenos and place into the bowl with the tikka marinade. Mix well, cover, and let sit in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes; the longer your marinade, the more of a flavor profile on the chicken.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Place a cooling rack on top of a baking tray.
• Snap off jalapeno stems by holding a pepper with one hand and pulling it off to the side. Repeat with remaining peppers. Slice all jalapenos in half lengthwise and remove all seeds and ribbing using a teaspoon, making sure not to remove white stem area.
• Fill jalapeno halves with cream cheese using a teaspoon; place as much cheese as to your liking. Place a strip of tikka chicken on top of cream cheese and wrap each chicken popper halve with a slice of bacon. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bacon is browned and crisp, about 40 minutes.

KICKIN' JALAPENO TATER TOTS #5FIX

Steps:

• Fill a heavy saucepan with canola oil to about 2 inches deep and place over medium high heat. Using a candy thermometer, heat oil until it reaches 325 degrees.
• Place shredded hash browns in food processor (working in batches if necessary) and pulse until pieces are broken down into smaller bits. 8 - 10 pulses.
• Place chopped hash browns in a bowl and add cornstarch, peppers, and 1 tsp salt. Mix to combine.
• Shape mixture into tots or small balls about 3/4" in diameter.
• Working in batches, fry tots in canola oil until golden brown, about 2 - 3 minutes each batch. Remove tots with a slotted spoon to a paper-towel lined plate or sheet pan. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tsp salt. Serve immediately.

TANTALIZING TATER TOTS #5FIX

Steps:

• Line baking sheet or large plate with wax paper.
• Pour panko crumbs Into medium bowl.
• In a large bowl combine mashed potatoes, flour and cheese. Spoon a dollop of mixture into panko crumbs. Coat completely while simultaneously shaping into tater tot shape ( or leave as a ball). If you find dough too sticky to manipulate add a bit more flour. Place tot on wax paper and repeat with remaining potato dough.
• Heat skillet to medium/medium high heat and add about an inch of oil. Once oil is hot add tater tots. They will turn golden brown on one side ( after a couple minutes) and then flip. Do NOT over crowd! Work in batches and make sure to keep an eye on them so they don't burn. Serve with your favorite condiment.
• You can make tot shapes a day ahead and keep in refrigerator covered with plastic wrap.
