Air-Fried Sweet Potato Tots

1 hr 20 mins

Ingredients

  • 2 small sweet potatoes, peeled (14 oz. total)

  • 1 tablespoon potato starch

  • teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, divided

  • ¾ cup no-salt-added ketchup

  • Nonstick cooking spray

Directions

  1. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add potatoes, and cook until just fork tender, about 15 minutes. Transfer potatoes to a plate to cool, about 15 minutes.

  2. Working over a medium bowl, grate potatoes using the large holes of a box grater. Gently toss with potato starch, garlic powder and 1 teaspoon salt. Shape mixture into about 24 (1-inch) tot-shaped cylinders.

  3. Lightly coat air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place 1/2 of tots (about 12) in single layer in the basket, and spray with cooking spray. Cook at 400°F until lightly browned, 12 to 14 minutes, turning tots halfway through cook time. Remove from fry basket and sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon salt. Repeat with remaining tots and salt. Serve immediately with ketchup.

Tips

Spraying the tots with cooking spray helps with browning, though they still don't brown evenly in the air fryer. Be sure to boil the sweet potatoes just enough that they grate and hold together when shaped, but still retain a little texture. Not a fan of ketchup? Make this Greek yogurt ranch dressing instead.
