Crispy Air Fryer Sweet Potato Tots

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Air Fryer Sweet Potato Tots.

1. Step 1

   Start by bringing a pot of water to a lively boil.

2. Step 2

   Once it’s bubbling, gently add your peeled sweet potatoes and let them cook for about 15 minutes.

3. Step 3

   You want them to be tender enough to pierce with a fork but still firm enough to hold their shape—overcooking can make grating a bit tricky.

4. Step 4

   After the sweet potatoes are done, drain them and set them aside to cool.

5. Step 5

   Once they’ve cooled down, grab a box grater and grate the sweet potatoes into a mixing bowl.

6. Step 6

   Now, it’s time to add some flavor! Sprinkle in your Cajun seasoning and mix everything together until it’s well combined.

7. Step 7

   Next, take a handful of the sweet potato mixture and shape it into little tot-like cylinders, making sure they’re nice and compact.

8. Step 8

   To prepare for cooking, lightly spray your air fryer basket with olive oil cooking spray.

9. Step 9

   Arrange the sweet potato tots in a single layer, ensuring they have a bit of space between them so they can crisp up nicely.

10. Step 10

    Give the tops a light spray of olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt for that extra touch of flavor.

11. Step 11

    Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and once it’s ready, pop the tots in for 8 minutes.

12. Step 12

    After that, carefully turn them over, give them another spritz of olive oil, and add a pinch more sea salt.

13. Step 13

    Cook them for an additional 8 minutes until they’re golden brown and irresistibly crispy.
