I prepared these today for tomorrow’s lunch. They smelled so good that my husband couldn’t wait until tomorrow, he really liked them! I’ve been trying out new recipes to vary our side dishes and veggies, and this will definitely be added to our rotation. I did do some modifications. I added one egg to the mixture because the tots wouldn’t hold. Also, I used shredded mozarella (instead of pepperjack)and garlic powder and sea salt (instead of garlic salt) because that’s what I had on hand. Thanks for the recipe!
