Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into small pieces, then boil them in a pot of salted water for about 15 minutes, or until tender.

  2. 2

    Mash the Sweet Potatoes

    Drain the sweet potatoes and let them cool for a few minutes. Once cooled, mash them in a large mixing bowl until smooth.

  3. 3

    Mix the Ingredients

    To the mashed sweet potatoes, add all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and olive oil. Mix until well combined and a dough forms.

  4. 4

    Add Optional Ingredients

    If using, stir in the chopped parsley and grated cheese into the sweet potato mixture until evenly distributed.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Shape the Tots

    Using your hands, take small portions of the mixture and shape them into small tater tot shapes. Place them on a greased baking sheet.

  2. 6

    Bake the Tots

    Bake the sweet potato tots in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even browning.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Once golden brown and crispy, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm as a delicious snack or side dish.
