Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds medium sweet potatoes (about 3 potatoes), pricked with a fork
- Cooking spray
- 4 cups finely crushed sweet potato chips
- 1/4 cup grated onion
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 large egg
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha (Asian chile sauce)
Instructions
- 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.

Reviews
We didn’t love this recipe. Maybe my sweet potatoes were too big, but these were essentially mashed potatoes rolled in chips. Even when the outside was crispy, they were still mushy. The flavors and sriracha mayo were good.
These tots were absolutely amazing. I followed the recipe exactly as written, and used Terra Sweet Potato chips (don’t buy the flavored ones!) If you wet your hands prior to rolling the tots, it goes alot easier. The only modification I had….I baked them for 45 minutes and set them under the broiler for a few minutes on each side since my family likes them crispy. This one is a keeper!
These are delicious. I didn’t have enough sweet potato chips so I used part spicy nacho chips. I would melt the butter next time to make it easier to distribute in the mix and perhaps put a little more in.
