“Sonic has Sweet Potato Tots! THEY’RE SO GOOD!!”
I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen The Man so excited. It’s adorable. Except that any violation of my no-fast-food rule results in two things…1) Shunning and Constant Ridicule, and 2) The Obsessive Need to One-Up This Madness.
I was not to be outdone by a nasty-ass drive-in deep fryer and what I sincerely doubt are real sweet potatoes.
ZOMG THEY’RE SO GOOD!!
You’re Welcome.
I had a little boo-boo and spent the better part of Sunday at the ER. For the last 3 days I’ve been completely out of it, aka, had the perfect excuse to lay around and do nothing. Yay for blessings in disguise!
Until you wreck your car at 5:30am. Stupid Karma.
It’s OK, though, ‘cuz I got me some Sweet Potato Tots.
Ingredients
2 Large Yams or Sweet Potatoes
2 Eggs
1 t Salt
2 T Arrowroot Powder
1/4 c Olive Oil, for frying (more as needed)
Instructions
Cut the yams into large chunks, place in a stockpot, and cover with water. Bring to a boil and allow to simmer until soft but not mushy (think soft but still not soft enough to be edible…if that even makes sense…)
Drain the yams and place into a food processor. Pulse until they are grated but be careful not to make a puree. Transfer to a bowl and add the salt, eggs, and arrowroot powder.
Heat the oil in a heavy pan over medium-high heat. Form quarter-sized balls from the yam mixture and drop into the oil. Cook for about 1.5-2 minutes on each side and turn. Transfer to a baking sheet. When all of your mixture is done frying, bake the tots at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
A – I’m always happy when you lay around the house coming up with more plans for delicious paleo/primal goodness. Blessing in disguise indeed!
B – THESE WERE AMAZING.
C – Still sorry about your car, but so much happier simply that you’re okay.

What are your opinins on freezing these puppies, maybe after the fry but before the bake?
Hmmm…never tried it but I bet it would work–like the commercial frozen ones I bet you’d just have to add a little time on the baking phase but I hope it works!!
