Peel and wash the potatoes.

Boil the potatoes in a pot of cold water over medium-high flame for around 10 minutes until slightly cooked on the outside and raw on the inside.

Drain the water from the potatoes and let them rest for 5 to 10 minutes to cool and dry out.

Grate the cooled potatoes using a box grater with large holes into a bowl.

Add black pepper, salt, garlic powder, and paprika to the grated potatoes and mix well.

Add 1 tablespoon of flour to the potato mixture and knead to combine.

Soak your hands in water to prevent sticking, then scoop out and shape the potato mixture into tater tots.

Heat cooking oil in a frying pan until hot, checking readiness by inserting a skewer to see small bubbles.

Carefully drop the tater tots into the hot oil, avoiding overcrowding the pan.

Fry the tater tots for around 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown, checking after 2 minutes for color.

Use a skimmer to remove the tater tots and drain on a plate lined with kitchen paper towel.

Repeat frying with the remaining tater tots.

Serve the tater tots with your favorite sauce.
