Quinoa Tater Tots

I love these things.  i ate almost all of them immediately.  I found these on the interwebz and removed all the nasty ingredients like eggs, and added a few ingredients that i thought would make it taste better, and I personally think I was right.  They taste a lot like tater tots but with way better ingredients.

I imagine you could probably bake these instead of cook them in a pan, but that’s how I did it, and they came out great.  Pair them with some of your favorite dipping sauces – ketchup, BBQ sauce, etc…

They taste a lot like tater tots but with way better ingredients. Pan frying gives you a great texture.
