- 1 large Sweet Potato, peeled
- 1 Egg
- ¼ cup All-Purpose Flour
- ¼ teaspoon Sea Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Paprika
- ¼ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 3 cups Oil, for deep frying
- ¼ cup Plain Greek Yogurt
- ¼ cup Ketchup
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add the whole sweet potato and cook for about 15 minutes; it should be slightly softened, but not easily mashed; need to be able to grate it
- Drain and let it sit until cool enough to handle, then grate with cheese grater
- Combine the shredded potato and egg in a medium bowl and use fork to combine; in another bowl, combine the flour, salt, paprika and garlic powder; add the flour mixture to the potato and stir to combine
- Pour the oil into a deep fryer or in to a heavy pot; heat the oil until it is 375F; place a few sheets of paper towels on a plate to drain the tots when they are done cooking
- Form the potato mixture into 1-inch balls, use a small cookie scoop to make balls; add to the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot; it will take several batches to cook all of the potato mixture
- Fry for 3 minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon and drain on the paper-towel lined plate; repeat with the remaining batter, allowing the oil to come back to temperature between batches
- In small bowl, combine the yogurt and ketchup; serve with the hot tots
