Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 Cups sweet potatoes cooked and mashed to puree
- ½ Teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ Teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ Teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ Teaspoon salt
- ½ Cup panko breadcrumbs
- thyme optional
- flaky sea salt optional
- ranch dressing for dipping
Instructions
- Combine the sweet potato puree, cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt and breadcrumbs and mix well. Add some fresh thyme leaves if desired.
- Roll a tablespoon of the sweet potato mix into a small round tater tot. Repeat with the remainder of the mixture.
- Arrange the tater tots into the air fryer, making sure you leave a little space between each tot.
- Cook at 400°F for 5 minutes, then flip the tater tots and continue cooking for another 5 minutes. If the tots are not crispy enough, continue frying for another 5 to 10 minutes.
- Serve with a sprinkle of flaky salt if liked and ranch dressing on the side.
Notes
Get them super-crispy: If you want them nice and crispy, cook on each side for 8 to 10 minutes.
Use cold sweet potato puree: Chilled puree helps the tots hold their shape better when forming and air frying.
Don’t overcrowd the air fryer: Leave space between the tater tots to allow air to circulate and crisp them evenly.
Season immediately: Sprinkle flaky salt or any seasoning after air frying while the tots are hot. This helps the flavor "stick" better.
Serve fresh: For the best taste and texture, enjoy the tater tots hot and fresh out of the air fryer!
