Are you ready to make something super delicious for breakfast?

I’ve been obsessed with these Sweet Potato Tater Tots! Dip them in ketchup or mustard (or both!). I love making them for Saturday brunches for me and hubby. It makes the whole weekend a little more special.

The best part about these sweet potato tater tots is that they’re baked, not fried which makes so much healthier.

To make sweet potato tater tots you will need two key ingredients: sweet potato + cinnamon.

First, peel sweet potato then cut into 3-4 large pieces.  I used one giant sweet potato and cut it into 4 pieces. Grab a medium pot, fill it up with cold water, add 1 tbsp of salt, and bring to a boil. Add sweet potatoes and boil for 15 minutes.

(p.s. I forgot to peal sweet potatoes beforehand, so you will see the skin in the pics.)

Using a mesh strainer carefully transfer potatoes into a bowl filled with cold or iced water. This will help cool potatoes faster. Wait for about 5 minutes for potatoes to cool down.

Once the potatoes are cool, start grating. Season with cinnamon, salt, and pepper.

Then using your hand, take a little bit at a time and press into a tater tot shape. Place on a baking sheet. Spray a little bit of olive oil on top and bake at 400 F/ 200 C for 25 minutes. There’s no need to turn them halfway.

And there you go! You’ll have a healthy, baked sweet potato tater tots! If you make this recipe, show me show me! Tag me @simplefitvegan on Insta, Facebook, or Pinterest.
