For The Cheesy Jalapeno Filling

  • Whisk egg and buttermilk together in another bowl. 
  • Place bread crumbs in a third bowl. 

Assembling The Tots

  • In a large frying pan, or cast iron pan, heat oil over medium heat to 350 degrees.
  • Form about a tablespoon of mixture into the shape of a tater tot. 
  • For each tot, roll in flour, then into the buttermilk mixture and lastly into the bread crumbs. 
  • Place in frying pan and fry tots until golden brown on each side, approximately 2-4 minutes. Remove from oil and place on a plate lined with paper towels.
