Preparation

Step 1

Some days my kids just decide that they do not want to eat anything that I make. Isn’t that wonderful? What’s a Mom to do?! I’m sure not going to resort to feeding them junk just to make them happy. I have learned to be tricky over the years and have been developing recipes that

to be junk food to the kids, but are in fact healthy. Baked sweet potato tots are definitely one of my favorites, I always have them on hand! Easy to make, inexpensive, and they keep well in the freezer.

Directions:

In a bowl combine sweet potatoes and cheese, mash together with your hands until well combined

Place onto cookie sheet and bake at 425* for 10-15 minutes, turning every 5 minutes to cook evenly on all sides

I freeze them on a cookie sheet until firm and then place into a freezer bag

Makes approximately 30 tots

It should work, they will just be stringy when you eat them. Make sure to use moz that is not too dry though, or they will fall apart.

We make tots like this, but we substitute about 1/4 C of the Parmesan cheese for our graw crumbs magic mix. It actually ensures that they don’t fall apart. We also use them for the coating (you could do a 50/50 mix Parm & magic mix). They actually get a little bit crispier and brown with the graw crumbs. So delicious!

Making these today and am super excited to see if I finally found a replacement for store tots that are terrible for eating! When you cook from the freezer, how long do you put them in for?

Will Romano cheese work as well? It’s what I must use in place of Parm, due to cow’s milk sensitivity.

Sometimes I have had to wring the potato shreds out in a towel if I thought they were too wet. similar to how you make a cauliflower crust. But not always.

Are the cauliflower ones made the exact same way? I can’t wait to make these since we have changed our eating habits recently. Thanks for a great alternative!!
