Homemade Bacon Blue Cheese Tator Tots

Preheat oven to 400ºF.

Cook bacon for 10 minutes until crisp. Let cool and then chop.

Peel potatoes and add to a pot of water. Parboil for 6–7 minutes. Drain, let dry, and cool potatoes before shredding finely with a cheese grater.

Mix flour, salt, pepper, chopped garlic and chopped bacon with the potato mixture. Assemble mixture into large tots and stuff each tot with 1 teaspoon blue cheese.

Heat oil in a fry pot to 350ºF. Fry each tot for 3–4 minutes until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
