AIR FRYER SWEET POTATO TOTS

Air Fryer Sweet Potato Tots image

Cooking sweet potato tots in the air fryer yields a slightly crisp exterior and a soft interior. These homemade tots are a great way to sneak veggies into a picky eater's meal, plus they're more affordable than buying pre-made, frozen sweet potato tots. Spraying the tots with cooking spray helps with browning, though they still don't brown evenly in the air fryer. Be sure to boil the sweet potatoes just enough that they grate and hold together when shaped, but still retain a little texture. Not a fan of ketchup? Make this Greek yogurt ranch dressing instead.

Time 1h20m

Yield Serves 4 (serving size: about 6 tots)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

2 small (14 oz. total) sweet potatoes, peeled
1 tablespoon potato starch
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
3/4 cup no-salt-added ketchup
Cooking spray

Steps:

Bring a medium pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add potatoes, and cook until just fork tender, about 15 minutes. Transfer potatoes to a plate to cool, about 15 minutes.
Working over a medium bowl, grate potatoes using the large holes of a box grater. Gently toss with potato starch, garlic powder and 1 teaspoon salt. Shape mixture into about 24 (1-inch) tot-shaped cylinders.
Lightly coat air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place 1/2 of tots (about 12) in single layer in the basket, and spray with cooking spray. Cook at 400°F until lightly browned, 12 to 14 minutes, turning tots halfway through cook time. Remove from fry basket and sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon salt. Repeat with remaining tots and salt. Serve immediately with ketchup.

Ingredients

2 sweet potatoes, peeled
½ teaspoon Cajun seasoning
olive oil cooking spray
sea salt to taste

Steps:

Bring a pot of water to a boil and add sweet potatoes. Boil until potatoes can be pierced with a fork but are still firm, about 15 minutes. Do not over-boil, or they will be messy to grate. Drain and let cool.
Grate sweet potatoes into a bowl using a box grater. Carefully mix in Cajun seasoning. Form mixture into tot-shaped cylinders.
Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray. Place tots in the basket in a single row without touching each other or the sides of the basket. Spray tots with olive oil spray and sprinkle with sea salt.
Heat air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and cook tots for 8 minutes. Turn, spray with more olive oil spray, and sprinkle with more sea salt. Cook for 8 minutes more.
