Baked Sweet Potato Tots
Baked sweet potato tots are definitely one of my kids' favorites, I always have them on hand! Easy to make, inexpensive, and they keep well in the freezer.
Ingredients
- 3 cups sweet potatoes
- 1 cup grated raw parmesan cheese, plus more for rolling tots
- Sea salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 F.
- Peel and quarter sweet potatoes.
- Steam them until just starting to get tender, but not cooked through.
- In a food processor, pulse sweet potato until small crumbles form.
- In a mixing bowl, combine sweet potatoes and cheese, mash together with your hands until well combined.
- Form into balls (I used this this tool to get uniform balls) and roll in parmesan until lightly coated.
- Place onto a cookie sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, turning every 5 minutes to cook evenly on all sides.
- These freeze very well, but freeze after rolling into balls — do not bake first. I freeze them on a cookie sheet until firm and then place into a freezer bag.
- I keep a bag of them in the freezer at all times. In case of a picky kid emergency, I just pop a few sweet potato tots into our toaster oven, and in minutes I have a quick healthy snack or a great side for dinner.
