Sweet Potato Tots Loaded with Bacon Bits

Pin It

It was a lazy Saturday afternoon and I was craving for something to eat. I checked in my fridge and found a large sweet potato. Instead of simply frying it, I tried to be creative and did a little twist in my simple lazy snack ;)

Sweet Potato Tots or some called it croquettes, can be mixed with other ingredients to burst with more flavor. Adding-up some available ingredients could really make a big difference to a simple dish. So, go check your kitchen now and be creative in making something new out of ordinary.



Ingredients:

• 1 large sweet potato - grated
• black ground pepper
• 1/4 cup + 1/2 cup for coating - breadcrumbs

• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese - grated
• oil  

Procedure:

1. Peel and wash the sweet potato.
2. Grate the sweet potato.

7. Add Parmesan cheese.
8. Add 2 eggs.
9. Mix it all together.
