Sweet Potato Tots. More vitamins than tater tots! https://www.superhealthykids.com/sweet-potato-tots/

I can’t help but think about tater tots when I think about lunch at my elementary school.  I never ate them at home, but remembering eating them at school is so nostalgic for me.   Our Sweet Potato Tots Recipe is definitely a made-over much healthier version of a regular fried tater tot. Our tots are crunchy, slightly sweet and packed full of vitamins, minerals and fiber.

You could definitely try it, but when they thaw they might release water and make them a bit soggy. You could probably remedy this by baking longer. If you try it, let us know how they turn out!

Hello, I was wanting to try these for my family I was wondering if you have the nutritional facts? How long will these last

These look great, but not very “time friendly” Plus, using two pans and a baking sheet for a side dish seems so intense!!

PS, I’m still totally trying it.

I have tried this recipe twice now. The first time I forgot about my sweet potato and it we ended up having mashed sweet potatoes instead. The second time was not a train wreck and turned out pretty darn good!
I had to improvise with what I had; only one lonely end piece of bread and ground flax seeds for the panko. I also didn’t really feel like forming a bunch of tiny tater tots in my hands and used a small spring-loaded scoop. The other adjustment I made is I mixed the beaten egg into the sweet potatoes and skipped the dipping in eggs step altogether.
In the end my husband didn’t even try them (not a sweet potato fan) and my son ate about a dozen of them. Thank you for the wonderful recipe, even though I didn’t follow it 🙂

You could probably just use the steam bag sweet potatoes and peel the skin off when they cool to save time and dishes!

This sounds delicious and I can’t wait to try it! I didn’t notice a link to the tangy apricot sauce recipe or instructions on how to make it. Can you please post it? Thanks! 🙂

This sounds so good. I’d really like to try the sauce too. Can you post that recipe or a link? Thanks.
