Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Sweet Potatoes

    Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into small pieces. Place them in a pot of boiling water and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Drain and Mash

    Once cooked, drain the sweet potatoes and let them cool for a few minutes. Then, mash them in a large bowl until smooth.

Mixing Ingredients

  1. 3

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

  2. 4

    Mix Ingredients Together

    Gradually add the dry mixture to the mashed sweet potatoes, mixing well until everything is combined. If using, fold in the chopped fresh herbs at this stage.

Shaping and Baking

  1. 5

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 6

    Shape the Tots

    Using your hands, shape the sweet potato mixture into small tot shapes (about 1 inch long). Place them on the prepared baking sheet.

  3. 7

    Drizzle with Olive Oil

    Drizzle the olive oil over the shaped tots, ensuring they are lightly coated.

  4. 8

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.

Serving

  1. 9

    Serve and Enjoy
