  • I think I’ve given up on trying to make amazing potato tots at home. With a lot of effort you can make a mediocre batch, but they’re just not worth all the work. However, they don’t sell frozen Crispy Potato Pancake Poppers, which are amazing, and were “invented” during one of these failed tot attempts. Enjoy!

    How is it, that when confronted with 2 extra large russet potatoes, I think "I could never eat all of that", but when confronted with 24 crispy potato poppers I think "I'm not sure that will be enough for me in one sitting".

    Chef John, very nice recipe, being Irish from rural Kentucky this recipe is a staple. 2 tips, when grating potatoes, carrots, etc... buy 4 metal thimbles & use on your fingers of the grating hand on the box cutter & no finger slices missing, to remove the potato moisture place a couple of paper towels under the perforated basket of a salad spinner & crank 3 minutes,( absorbs the water) a $ 10.00 plastic item from Walmart & can be used for more than salads/greens, hope that helps everyone for prep

    In Wisconsin, apple sauce and potato pancakes are a match made in heaven. . We just made a batch of apple butter. These potato poppers will go great along side the apple butter. Thanks Chef John!

    This is just what I was looking for! Your clear presentation made it look so easy. I make cooking videos too and I’m always looking for recipes & cooking tips. Thank you for teaching me something new. I hope we can learn from each other!

    After liberally coating my nice clean stove in hot oil spatter yesterday while making latkes, I do believe I will give this a try.
