sweet potato tater tots?

MFrey718

hey guys, can anyone give me a homemade breakdown of sweet potato tater tots if you have ever made them?

Load them into the recipe builder - when you add the ingredients, weigh each one as you go.

im sorry, total miscommunication. I meant the process of making them. baking or frying. breadcrumbs or flower

flour? I don't think you need that at all. Some recipes do, sure.

I've never made home made tater tots before. I guess, if I were going to make that effort, I would; shred the raw sweet potato, mix in an egg or two to bind it together, season it with salt and pepper, shape the mixture into small and bake it. I have no idea if that would work or taste but it's what I would try. Have you googled it?

My recipe is a little simpler:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
2. Slice about 1.5 pounds of sweet potatoes into 1/2 inch rounds
3. Put them in a bowl, add about a tablespoon of oil, 1/8 t chipotle powder, 1/4 t salt, mix well. (Use whatever spices you like.)
4. Bake for 20 minutes, flip, bake for another 20. (Not certain about this - keep an eye on them for the last 10.)

Panko crumbs give them crunch.

Never made tater tots, we slice them and fry them in unrefined coconut oil. In other words, sweet potato home fries.

I made them yesterday for the first time, to do with my low cal buffalo chicken strips (during a terrible football day for me!!!)

I peeled, cut in half and par boiled (about 15 minutes) three large, yet not giant, garnet yams (I greatly prefer to sweet potatoes)

Let them cool, then grated them with a box grater.

Added salt, pepper, paprika, garlic salt, and a bit of cayenne. Mixed it together with my hands, then rolled them into their little tot shapes and placed on a parchment lined baking sheet. I brushed them with a wee bit of olive oil. Cooked at 400 for about 45 minutes.

They tasted good, but they sort of didn't hold their shape all that well. They shrunk up quite a bit, so I'd suggest making them about 2x the size of a normal tot.

4 T sugar? (2 T + 2 T). I wonder if that is really needed.
