Ingredients

For the tater tots:

• 1 peeled russet potatoes
• cooked sausages
• bacon strips
• all-purpose flour
• chopped chives
• 1 cup of Parmesan cheese
• salt
• pepper

For the Hollandaise sauce:

• 4 egg yolks
• 1/2 lemon’s juice
• 1/2 cup of melted butter
• cayenne pepper
• salt

Step 1: Boil The Potato

Place your potato in a large saucepan and boil for 10 minutes or until tender.

Step 2: Grate The Potato

Take the potato out of the saucepan and place it under cold water to stop it from cooking continuously. Using a cheese grater, grate the potato in a medium mixing bowl.

Step 3: Prepare The Potato Mixture

Add the flour, chopped chives, and Parmesan cheese into the grated potato. Then, season it with salt and pepper and mix well.

Step 4: Assemble The Tater Tots

Take a small amount of the potato mixture in your palm and add a small piece of cooked sausage then mold it into what looks like a tot. Put them in the freezer for 20 minutes.

Step 5: Add The Bacon

Cut a slice of bacon in half and wrap it around the frozen tot.

Step 6: Secure The Tater Tot

Secure the tater tot with a toothpick to make sure the bacon will stay in place.

Step 7: Deep Fry

Heat a pot or a deep fryer with oil to about 375 degrees F. Fry the tater tots for 1 minute or until golden brown.

Step 8: Prepare The Dipping Sauce

In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks and lemon juice until the egg yolks double in size. Place the bowl on top of a saucepan filled with hot water making sure the bowl won’t touch the water. Add the melted butter into the mixture and whisk well until it reaches its creamy consistency.

Step 9: Add Seasoning

Add salt and cayenne pepper for extra flavor.

Step 10: Dip & Enjoy!

Enjoy your tater tots with a yummy and velvety dipping sauce. Share these bad boys with your family!
