Sweet Potato Tots

  • 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
  1. 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
  2. Drain and let it sit until cool enough to handle, then grate with cheese grater
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. 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
  7. In small bowl, combine the yogurt and ketchup; serve with the hot tots
