Cajun Sweet Potato Tots for a Spicy Snack

05/11/2021

These cajun sweet potato tots are actually simple, and these crisp bites are a great variation of the traditional. Based on Parmesan as well as cornstarch to keep the tots together, they are gluten-free. The most crucial step is to boil your potatoes. This will help them shred easier and also aid in gluing them together. The result is a tot that is crispy on the outside, but soft on the inside. Be patient when they begin to take on hue on both sides - that's not a negative thing! If you think they're getting too dark, you can flip them to cook all four sides that are not only the bottom and top. The cajun sauce makes the sweet potato tots a perfect dish. Check out the step-by-step instructions below for preparing the perfect cajun sweet potato tots

FOR DIPPING SAUCE

Instructions

  • Place sweet potatoes in a large pot and add enough water to completely cover potatoes. Bring to a boil over high heat. Boil until almost tender, but a knife still meets a little resistance, about 8 minutes. Drain and let cool.
  • Preheat oven to 400° and grease a large baking sheet with cooking spray. When potatoes are cool enough to handle, grate on the large holes of a cheese grater.
  • Add grated potatoes, parmesan, cornstarch, and cajun seasoning to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper and stir to combine well. Scoop out a heaping tablespoon sized amount and squeeze together with your hands and form into a tater tot shape. Place on prepared baking sheet and repeat with remaining sweet potatoes.
  • Bake until crispy and bottoms have darkened, flipping halfway through, about 40 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make sauce: Combine mayonnaise, honey mustard, and hot sauce in a small bowl. Add more honey mustard or hot sauce to taste.
  • Serve tater tots hot with dipping sauce.
