Sweet Po Tater Tots Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Crumble in the beef and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink and begins to brown, about 4 minutes. Add the squash, onion and bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion begins to wilt, about 4 minutes.
• Make a space in the center of the skillet and add the garlic, tomato paste, chili powder, cumin and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sizzling, about 1 minute, then stir into the beef and vegetables. Add the tomato sauce, stock and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a simmer then stir in the black beans and vinegar. Simmer, stirring often, until slightly thickened, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Transfer to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with 1 cup of the Cheddar. Arrange the tots in neat rows on top, spacing them apart so they can crisp. Bake until the tots are crisp on top, about 25 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup Cheddar. Bake until the cheese is melted and the filling is bubbly, 10 to 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bake the sweet potatoes directly on the oven rack until tender, about 50 minutes. Let cool completely.
• Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Peel the sweet potatoes, transfer to a large bowl and mash. Stir in 1 1/2 cups crushed chips, the onion, butter and egg. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste; stir until combined.
• Spread the remaining 2 1/2 cups crushed chips in a shallow dish. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the sweet potato mixture into your hands and shape into a small 1-inch-long cylinder. Repeat to make about 36 cylinders. Roll in the crushed chips to coat on all sides and arrange on the prepared baking sheet; spray with cooking spray. Bake, rotating the pan halfway through, until crisp and golden, about 30 minutes. Season with salt.
• Meanwhile, mix the mayonnaise and Sriracha in a small bowl. Serve on the side for dipping.

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a pot; add cold water until potatoes are covered by 1 inch. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer until potatoes are softened, about 10 minutes; drain. Cool until easily handled, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Shred potatoes into thin strips with a box grater; drain excess water. Place shredded potato into a large mixing bowl. Stir parsley, flour, salt, seasoned pepper, and onion powder into the potatoes until combined. Shape potato mixture into potato nuggets.
• Heat peanut oil in a deep-fryer or large stockpot to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place potato nuggets in the fryer, 5 to 10 at a time. Cook until golden brown and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate.
