Level: Easy
Total: 55 min
Active: 55 min
Yield: 24 tots

Ingredients

  1. 1 bunch dill, roughly chopped
  2. 1/4 cup kosher salt
  3. 1 large sweet potato
  4. Kosher salt
  5. 1/3 cup flour
  6. 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  7. 2 cups safflower oil

Instructions

  1. For the dust: Place a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Pulse the dill and salt together in a food processor until the dill is finely ground and combined with the salt. Spread the dust in an even layer on a sheet pan and bake until dry, about 30 minutes.
  2. For the tots: Place the potato in a medium pot of cold, salted water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat until a knife inserts easily into the potato but the interior is still firm, 5 minutes. Transfer the potato into a colander and let cool slightly. Peel and coarsely chop the potato. Then process the potato in a food processor to very small chunks, 10 to 15 pulses. In a large bowl combine the flour, 1 teaspoon salt and the pepper. Add to the processed potatoes, mixing well with a spoon or spatula to distribute the flour mixture evenly through the potatoes. Form spoonfuls of the mixture into 2-inch logs.
  3. Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat to 350 degrees F. Fry the tots in small batches until they are golden brown and crispy, 2 minutes per side. Remove the tots from the oil with a slotted spoon and transfer to the baking sheet. Sprinkle the still warm tots with the dill dust. Continue frying and dusting the remaining tots.

I used sweet potato tots and I used an onion and chive dip. Perfect pairing. The dip was made with sour cream. The warm tots & cool dip made a perfect pairing.

I gave this a 3 star because I didn’t love it, it was just ok to me. I cheated and used sea salt & dried dill, I’m personally not a huge fan of dill so I only used a little, I tasted the 1st tot with the salt & then the 2nd one without salt & preferred them without the dill dust. My 5 year old niece loved them though. They were crunchy on the outside and chewy in the center.
