Sweet Potato Tots

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Sweet Potatoes

    Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into small pieces. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and let cool.

  2. 2

    Make Tots Mixture

    In a large bowl, mash the boiled sweet potatoes. Add flour, cornstarch, egg, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Form Tots

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Form the sweet potato mixture into small bite-sized balls or tots and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  4. 4

    Cook Pancetta

    In a skillet, cook the pancetta lardons over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Bake Tots

    Bake the sweet potato tots in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  6. 6

    Prepare Maple Drizzle

    In a small bowl, combine the maple syrup and whipped cream. Mix until smooth.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Plate the sweet potato tots, drizzle with the maple mixture, sprinkle with smoked pecans, scatter the crispy pancetta on top, and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
