Ingredients
Sweet Tots:
2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
3 to 4 quarts vegetable or canola oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 family-size bag salted potato chips, crushed to crumbs
4 large eggs, whisked
2 cups all-purpose flour
Honey Mustard:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
Directions
- For the sweet tots: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Prick the sweet potatoes, then place them on a baking sheet and roast until the fork tender, about 1 hour.
- Pour the oil into a Dutch oven and heat to 350 degrees F.
- Peel and mash the sweet potatoes. Season with salt and pepper, and mix in 1 cup of potato chip crumbs. Place the remaining crumbs in a shallow bowl.
- Place the whisked eggs and flour each in shallow bowls and season with salt and pepper. Roll the sweet potato mash into 1 1/2-inch tots.
- Dredge the tots in the flour; dip in egg, letting the excess drip off; then roll in the chip crumbs to coat.
- Fry the tots until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with salt. Keep warm until ready to serve.
- For the honey mustard: Mix the mayonnaise, mustard, honey, vinegar and cayenne in a bowl until well blended. Serve with the tots.
