282056 Tue Dec 27 14:43:37 -0800 2005 10 31 Home Cooking 0 1502096 i've made these before but i'm always interested in variations. anyone have good recipes for homemade tater tots, or blue cheese-stuffed ones specifically? also, brainstorm! What's a good dipping sauce to go with them? Tue Dec 27 14:43:37 -0800 2005 0 helen 1 1502103 This is my version. I have no idea where I got the recipe it was many years ago. They are really good plain but also with some sour cream and chives to dip them in. I use mini-muffin cups but tiny tart molds would work well too. Potato Bites 2 lg. eggs 1/4 c. canola oil 3 Tbs. Matzo meal 1 tsp. salt 1/8 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg ½ tsp. baking powder 1 small onion 1 clove garlic, minced 1 Tbs. crisp bacon bits freshly ground black pepper to taste 1 1/4 lbs. baking potatoes paprika Preheat the oven to 400ºF. And grease 36 1 3/4" X 1" muffin cups. In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, oil, Matzo meal, salt, nutmeg, black pepper and baking powder. Grate the onion on the large holes of a grater and whisk in to the egg mixture along with the minced garlic. Peel and quarter the potatoes and chop finely in a food processor. Add the potatoes to the batter and stir well to combine. Spoon a rounded tablespoon of the potato mixture into each prepared muffin cup. Sprinkle with paprika and bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Tue Dec 27 15:11:24 -0800 2005 1502096 0 Candy 1 1502107 Do you really take prepared tater tots and stuff them? My first thought was eehhh, then after considering crispy hot tater with cool cheese...YUM!

Not that there's anything wrong with tatertots. Tue Dec 27 15:35:38 -0800 2005 1502107 0 Ruth Lafler 1 1502136 Sorry, no recipes, I've never even heard of such a thing. But I am intrigued...let us know how it turns out. As for dipping sauce, I LOVE to dip my french fries in honey (is that weird?) and I know honey goes well with blue cheese, so maybe something along that line...

Tue Dec 27 17:46:45 -0800 2005 1502096 0 CeeBee 2 1502252 I love to dip my fries (especially McDonalds) in honey. Sweet and sour sauce too... Wed Dec 28 11:09:11 -0800 2005 1502137 0 jilli42 2 1502305 Maybe something like Heinz chili sauce (catsup-y and sorta sweet)? Wed Dec 28 15:22:53 -0800 2005 1502137 0 Bea 1 1502908 Sounds really yummy. I think I would stuff mine with jack or cheddar cheese. Good dipping sauces would be ranch or honey dijon dressing I'm thinking. Sat Dec 31 17:55:35 -0800 2005 1502096 0 In-N-Outer 1 2111171 My favorite dipping sauce is sweet chili sauce and sour cream. YUM!! Mon Dec 18 23:44:46 -0800 2006 1502096 39545 tatertot 1 2111646 use Candy's potato bites recipe and tuck a nugget of blue cheese inside. They sound stupendous!
