Enjoy crispy homemade sweet potato tater tots, a delightful twist on a classic comfort food. These tots are baked or air-fried to perfection.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and grated
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed for baking/air frying

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or your air fryer to 390°F (195°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper if baking.
  2. Place the grated sweet potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. This step is crucial for crispy tots.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the squeezed sweet potatoes, flour, beaten egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  4. Form the mixture into small tot shapes.
  5. For baking: Arrange the tots on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  6. For air frying: Place the tots in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Lightly spray or toss with olive oil. Air fry for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • For an extra crispy texture, you can add a tablespoon of cornstarch to the mixture.
  • Experiment with different seasonings like paprika or cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
  • Ensure the sweet potatoes are very well drained of moisture for the best results.
