Tater (Like) Tots

By

108 cal/serving

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup cooked white beans (such as Great Northern)
  • 2 tbsp flaxseeds (golden for most-authentic appearance)
  • 2 tbsp ground flaxmeal
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa (K note: I cooked my quinoa with 1/8 tsp salt)
  • 1 tbsp white miso
  • 2 tbsp brown rice flour
  • 1/4 cup finely-diced onion
  • oil or oil spray for the pan

Preparation

Step 1

Using a fork, mash the white beans in a large bowl. (If using unsalted beans, you can add a little extra miso or salt to compensate.) Mix in the remaining ingredients, except for oil. A handful of dough at a time, form 1 inch thick long logs on a chopping board. Carefully cut logs into ½ thick slices to make the tots. Warm a skillet over low heat, and pour in a little olive oil (a tablespoon or two) to coat the pan. (K note: I did these in two batches and used about 1 tbsp olive oil per batch. I did also fry a few separately in oil spray to make sure it would work, as I knew people would ask about that option!)

Place tots inside the pan, and cook for several minutes until browned. Use a spatula to flip tots over to brown other side evenly. Serve homemade tater tots immediately with ketchup if desired, or freeze for later use. Serves 3-5.
