DIRECTIONS
1. | Keep potato rounds frozen until ready to cook. Place frozen potatoes in a single layer on sheet pan lined with pan liner or sprayed with food release spray. Do not pan more than you can serve quickly. This product may become soggy. Batch cook to maintain quality. |
2. | Bake according to oven (combi or convection) and package or case directions. CCP: Heat to 135 degrees F or higher for at least 15 seconds at the completion of the cooking process. If the manufacturer instructions on the package or case have a higher temperature, follow those recommendations. |
3. | Use a spatula to remove the tater tots from sheet pans, and place them into half-size steamtable pans. |
4. | Serve the tater tots immediately. If that is not an option, place them under a heat lamp to keep the potatoes crisp. The tater tots may also be covered with aluminum foil and placed them in the warmer. Cut holes in the aluminum foil to allow the steam to escape. CCP: Hold and maintain the product at a minimum temperature of 135 degrees F or higher. Check the temperature every 30 minutes. |
5. | Measure a ½ cup serving of the tater tots to determine how many to serve. CCP: Hold and maintain product at a minimum temperature of 135 degrees F. Check temperature every 30 minutes. Discard any leftovers |
