Giada's Sweet Potato Tots
A recipe for Giada's Sweet Potato Tater Tots written in my own words.
Ingredients
- 1 bunch fresh dill chopped
- ¼ cup kosher salt
- 1 large sweet potato any variety
- ⅓ cup flour
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cups cooking oil
Instructions
To make the dill dust/salt
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees.
- Combine the dill and salt together in a food processor. Pulse until finely ground and mix together well.
- Place on a sheet pan. Bake for about 25-35 minutes until the dill is dried
- Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
To make the tots
- Place the whole potato in a pot with cold water covering it. Boil until you can easily pierce the potato with a fork but it's not falling apart. This should take around 5 minutes.
- Cool the potato before peeling and chopping. You are just going to put the potato in a food processor so you just need to chop it up enough to fit it in.
- Process the potatoes into small chunks by pulsing in your food processor. Don't make a puree.
- Remove from the food processor and add to a bowl with the flour, pepper, and just a teaspoon of kosher salt to taste. Mix to combine.
- Using a spoon, make 2-inch logs and place onto a lined sheet pan,
- Heat up a pan of oil to 350 degrees. Fry in batches, about 2 minutes per side.
- Remove from the oil onto a plate with paper towel on it to whisk away excess oil. Immediately sprinkle with the dill dust.
- You can keep them in an oven set to it's lowest temperature to keep warm while you finish frying all the tots
