NEW YORK, May 22 — If you love having tater tots and are looking for a different version to try out, this cheesy stuffed plantain tots are worth a try.
For this recipe by popular YouTube channel Tasty, you’ll need the following ingredients that will yield about 20 tots: 3 green plantains, 1 tsp of salt, 1 tsp of pepper, 1 tsp of chilli powder, 4 slices of mozzarella cheese, 4 hot dogs (or any preferred sausage) and oil for frying.
First, grate the green plantains. In a large mixing bowl, add salt, pepper, and chilli powder. Mix and combine well.
Next, wrap one slice of cheese around a hot dog and cut into four or five equal portions (roughly the size of a tot).
Take one tablespoon of the plantain mixture and cover a slice of the cheese-wrapped hot dog, shaping into a cylindrical tot. Repeat until all slices are covered and shaped.
Place the tots on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for one hour.
Fry the tots in a large pot over medium-high heat until golden brown, about one to two minutes. Place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
Serve warm with your favourite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
