Tator Tots

Servings: 2-4
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 45 minutes

I use all organic ingredients for flavor as well as for health.

Ingredients:
2  very large Idaho russet baking  (or 4 small to medium ones), washed, peeled and cut into small bite-size cubes.
1 small onion, sliced into small strips.
1 Tbsp. avocado oil or grape-seed oil (non-GMO)
1 tsp. paprika
1/4 tsp. Redmond Sea Salt (or to taste)
fresh ground pepper to taste

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 375 F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place diced potatoes in a large sauce pan or skillet. Rinse and drain, then add filtered water to cover. Bring to a boil, cook about 5 minutes, they will not be quite tender. Drain very well.

Making It:
1. In a large bowl combine potatoes, oil, onions, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat well. Spread out in a single layer on the baking sheet.
2.  Bake until golden and crispy about 45 minutes. For more even crisping flip the potatoes halfway through the baking process.
They can be served with Sun-dried Tomato Catsup, Pete’s BBQ sauce or just plain.

These are so yummy. Enjoy!

3 Tbs. organic unsalted butter, (divided)

1. Prepare the potatoes for cooking a large pot. Cover the potatoes in cold water and cook for 20-25 minutes or until tender when pierced.
2. Assemble the rest of the ingredients, and prepare for cooking.

Making It:
1. In a large skillet cook the onions and garlic in 1 Tbs. of butter. until very limp. Add the kale and stir occasionally over low heat until kale is wilted, add a little filtered water if needed to make sure it doesn’t burn. Turn off heat and set aside.
2.  The potatoes should be ready for mashing. Mash with the remaining butter and then add enough of the coconut milk, continuously mashing so they will be light and fluffy. Stir in the kale mixture into the potatoes. Season with the sea salt and pepper.  Serve immediately.
