Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 lb cream cheese
3 Tbsp minced garlic
1/4 c chopped, fresh cilantro
1/4 c chopped green onion
1 Tbsp Chipotle pepper puree
1/4 c cream
1 c shredded mild cheddar cheese
1/2 Tbsp Tabasco sauce
1 lb crab meat
1 lb bay shrimp
3 lbs shredded, frozen hash-brown potatoes
3 c Panko bread crumbs
Directions:
Directions:
Allow the cream cheese to soften at room temperature for about an hour before making the tots. Blend the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Fold in the remaining ingredients and blend thoroughly. To form the tots, pinch off a generous tablespoon of the mixture and roll into a ball. Mold into a "tater tot" shape by gently squeezing the sides of the ball to form the traditional cylindrical shape.

These are best deep-fried, but they can be drizzled with oil and baked at 400º for 10-12 minutes. Whichever cooking method you use, the tots must be very cold before cooking, so refrigerate them for at least 1 to 2 hours. (They can even be frozen. Allow them to thaw, refrigerated for 1 to 2 hours.)

Serve with your favorite dipping sauce. Suggested sauce is tarter sauce spiked with jalapeno peppers.
