In a medium bowl, combine the potatoes and egg and mix well. Add the flour and mix until combined. Stir in the cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste. The mixture should be pliable but dry. Form the potatoes into balls and fry in batches until golden brown, 4-5 minutes. Remove from the fryer and drain on a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Season immediately with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the tater tots to a serving bowl and serve.Advice: Don't throw away the potato peels, they can be used to make grilled bratwurst with braised kale.
