Ingredients
  

1 cup small-curd cottage cheese

1 medium potato, peeled and grated

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by peeling and grating the potato using a box grater or a food processor. Place the grated potato into a clean dish towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out any excess moisture. This step is crucial for achieving crispy tots!

    Mix the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the drained grated potato with the cottage cheese. Stir until well mixed to form a thick, cohesive batter. You can also season this mixture with salt, pepper, or your favorite herbs/spices for added flavor.

      Shape the Tots: Using your hands, take small amounts of the mixture and form them into bite-sized tots, about the size of your thumb. Ensure they are compact to help them hold their shape during cooking.

        Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

          Bake the Tots: Arrange the shaped tots on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each one for even cooking. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.

            Serve: Remove from the oven and let the tots cool slightly before serving. These can be enjoyed on their own, with your favorite dipping sauces, or even topped with a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
