Kid-Friendly Keto Tater Tots

If you are one like me, where I try to make my whole family follow our Low Carb Lifestyle, those Crispy Low Carb Tater Tots are a must in your kitchen. 

Kids love them, and they will have no idea potatoes are not involved. I swear. 

The taste is so real, you will not believe it.

Our Keto Croquettes as some might call them, are super crispy on the outside, with that softness and potato-like taste from the inside. Dipped in ketchup or Mayo, that is the way to go. 

Keto Tater Tots Idea

I have to thank and acknowledge one special Keto YouTuber, who by accident came up with the Keto Mix, which changed my life and will change the lives of so many people following Keto or Low Carb Lifestyle. 

World’s Best Homemade Keto Fries

Heavenly Fan from the UK was trying to make some Keto Pasta and with all the leftovers decided to fry it. 

And guess what. A real crispy and perfect looking Keto Fries were born. 

In her YouTube video, she is explaining the whole process of how to make the best fries one can have in our lifestyle. 

Genius Keto Mix Discovery

I had to try those Keto Fries the minute I saw the video. 

And as I had all the ingredients at home (which all of you have) I did 3 variations. The best one I loved, was to mix them up a little.

Final Result?

The whole family loved it and for me after that first bite, I was suddenly in my Childhood Croquettes heaven. When I closed my eyes, I remembered all the Croquettes as we call them in Europe, we used to eat during our school lunches. 

Keto Croquettes or Keto Tater Tots?

After I have started searching for the best name for this recipe, I decided to add a bit of the info for real Tater Tots. 

Just in case you are one of those, who does not know what the name Tater Tots is, here is a brief explanation. 

Living in Europe, we used to call them always simply Croquettes. 

But as I started researching, I have realized the actual Croquettes in the US are little nuggets always filled with additional cheese, ham, or something else.

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTION ON HOW TO MAKE EXTRA CRISPY KETO TATER TOTS

First Step: Prepare Ingredients

As a first step, prepare all of your ingredients for easy assembly.

Make sure your water is hot – almost boiling.

Second Step: Add all into a bowl

After you weigh all the dry ingredients, prepare one big bowl where you can mix it all up.

Place all the dry ingredients into the mixing bowl.

Third Step: Mix

Using your spatula mix all the dry ingredients fully.

Make sure that no visible clumps are left.  Also, Xanthan gum should be fully incorporated into the almond and coconut flour.

Fourth Step: Add Water

Once all the dry ingredients are mixed, slowly start adding hot or boiling water into the bowl while mixing it all.

Fifth Step: Mix

When all the hot water is within the dry ingredients’ mixture, using your spatula make sure it is all fully incorporated together with Keto flours and Xanthan gum.

Keep mixing it until a proper dough has been formed.

Sixth Step: Work out the dough

Once your mixture is smooth, place it all onto the sheet and using your hands, work out the dough making sure it is smooth without any dry lumps from the nut flowers.

As you see in the picture the dough is pretty sticky and will stay like this for a while.

You can choose to let the mixture sit a little bit and roll it only later if time allows.

Seventh Step: Roll and cut

You can either split your dough into half or place the part on the side.

Take approximately ¼ of the dough and start rolling.

The easiest for me is to roll it into a log. 

Using your spatula or cake scraper separate the log into smaller pieces all the same sizes.

As you see in the pictures you’re able to make approximately 42 a little Keto Tots. 

Eight Step: Shape into cylinders

One by one take each of the pieces and roll with your hands into smaller log or cylinder shape tots.

One tip in this step is to roll each tot once again after about 5 to 10 minutes. In this time all the pieces get a little dry and you can roll them into a much smoother shape.

Ninth Step: Fry

Once all of your Keto Tater Tots are prepared, place them one by one into the preheated frying pan with oil. Have your settings on to six or medium heat.

Slowly fry all the Keto Tos turning them regularly.

Tenth Step: Paper Towel 

When you see that your tots are turning into a beautiful golden color, one by one place them into the plate covered with a paper towel.

This will make sure all the remaining oil is being soaked into the towel and our Keto Tots become the crispiest ever.

Tips and Tricks:

2x rolling – Roll each Keto Tot once again after about 5 to 10 minutes. In this time all the pieces get a little dry and you can roll them into a much smoother shape.

Paper towel – use for draining the extra oil left after Frying. This will make our Keto Tots the crispiest ever

Freezing – I would suggest preparing the Keto Tots up to the 9th step and placing them all onto a plate and then the freezer. Once all the tots are frozen, you can take them out and place them all into a Ziploc bag and into the freezer for storing. 

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

How to store Keto Tater Tots?

Even though I would suggest enjoying your Keto Tots as fresh as possible, you can of course store them without the problem.

Once they cool down place them into an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 to 3 days.

If you want to store them longer I would suggest placing them in the freezer.

Can you freeze Keto Croquettes?

You can certainly freeze our keto croquettes or tots once fried. You might have them not as crispy as fresh ones, but placing them into the oven for a few minutes should retain a little of the crispiness back.

I would suggest freezing the batter before it is fried.

What you can do is follow up all the steps until step number nine.

Have all the tots on one plate and place them into the freezer.

Once they are frozen, you can then place them all into a Ziploc bag and use it as you normally would fry a frozen Tater Tots directly bought from the shop.
