Peel the potatoes, keep them whole or cut them in half. Place them in a pot with enough water to cover them.
Parboil potatoes for 7 to 10 minutes.
Allow to cool enough so you can handle them.
Grate them on the big holes of your grater.
Place them in a bowl.
Add the flour and salt mix gently.
Heat the oil up to 360F.
Use about 2 teaspoons potato mixture for each tot.
Shape the potato mixture gently until it is in the shape of a tater tot.
Fry, a few at a time, in the hot oil just until they are golden brown.
Drain on paper towels and season to taste.
