Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare Sweet Potatoes

    Boil the sweet potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes.

    Make sure they are fully cooked for a smoother texture.
  2. Mash and Combine

    Mix until well combined but do not overwork the dough.
  3. Shape Tots

    Form the mixture into small, tot-shaped pieces.

    Wet your hands to prevent sticking while shaping.
  4. Preheat Oven

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
  5. Bake the Tots

    Place the tots on the baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.

    Look for a golden-brown color for best results.
