Sweet Potato Tots

Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cup Mashed Sweet Potatoes (about 3 medium size sweet potatoes (420 g mashed sweet potatoes))
• 1 Egg Yolk (or 1 tablespoon flaxseed in 2 tbsp water)
• 1/2 cup Grated Cheese (I used vegan cheddar cheese)
• 1 Onion (finely grated)
• 3 Garlic Cloves (crushed)
• 1 cup Low-Carb Breadcrumb (or breadcrumb of your choice)
• 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley (or cilantro)
• 3/4 teaspoon Salt ((optional))

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. 2

   On a baking tray, place the sweet potatoes. Use a fork to pick holes all over the sweet potatoes.

3. 3

   Bake for 30 minutes or until a skewer easily goes through the sweet potatoes.

4. 4

   Remove from the oven and cool down for 10 minutes before handling them.

5. 5

   Carefully slice the sweet potatoes half lengthwise and use a spoon to remove the flesh. Discard the skin.

6. 6

   Place the sweet potato flesh in a large mixing bowl. Cool it down until it reaches room temperature before you combine it with the other ingredients.

7. 7

   Add egg yolk, grated cheddar, grated onion, crushed garlic, breadcrumb, fresh herbs, and salt.

8. 8

   Combine with a spoon until it forms a mash that you can easily handle with your hands to shape small tots.

9. 9

   Prepare a baking tray covered with parchment paper. Set aside.

10. 10

    Use your hands to shape the sweet potato tots and place them on the tray leaving half a thumb of space between each tot.

11. 11

    Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20 - 30 minutes or until the outside is crispy and slightly golden brown. The center will stay soft and moist.

    Serve with some extra dipping sauce like ketchup or guacamole for a healthier choice.
