Ingredients
  

1 cup cottage cheese

1 cup grated potatoes (about 1 medium potato)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Potatoes: Start by peeling the potato, then grate it using a box grater or a food processor. You can also squeeze out any excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or a cheesecloth to get a better texture.

    Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add the cottage cheese and the grated potatoes. Stir until both ingredients are well incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste, if desired.

      Shape the Tots: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Using your hands, form the potato and cottage cheese mixture into small tot shapes or balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

        Bake the Tots: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tots are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Make sure to flip them halfway through to ensure even cooking.

          Serve and Enjoy: Once baked, remove the tots from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm as a delightful snack or a side dish. You can pair them with your favorite dipping sauce like ketchup, ranch, or a spicy sriracha mayo.
