Sweet Tots
What You’ll Need…
- 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 pound), peeled and cubed
- 1/2 cup crushed Remy’s Grahams
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for baking)
What You’ll Do…
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the cubed sweet potatoes in a pot of boiling water. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender. Drain and let them cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the cooked sweet potatoes until smooth.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the crushed Remy’s Grahams, cinnamon, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt to the mashed sweet potatoes. Mix well to combine.
- Gradually add the flour to the mixture, stirring until everything is well incorporated. The mixture should be thick enough to hold its shape. If it’s too wet, add a bit more flour as needed.
- Using your hands, shape the mixture into small tot shapes (about 1 inch long) and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the tots and gently toss to coat. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the tots are golden brown and crispy.
- Let the sweet potato tots cool slightly before serving with your favorite sweet dip of choice. Dig in and enjoy!
