Heat oil to 375 F in a heavy-bottomed pan.

Thaw frozen hash browns, squeeze out excess water, and chop them into pieces no larger than 1/2 inch.

In a large bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, flour, oregano, parsley, salt, and pepper.
-
Add the grated onion, garlic, and prepared potatoes to the bowl, then mix thoroughly until spices are evenly distributed.

Form the mixture into 1-inch long cylinders, flattening the ends to create the distinct tot shape.

Fry 6-7 tots at a time, flipping after about 2 minutes per side until golden brown.

Remove fried tots and drain on a paper towel-lined baking sheet, repeating until all are cooked.

Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley and a side of ketchup.
