Back in action and so excited to share this recipe! I love myself a tater tot but the fried crispy goodness is not something that is great to eat a ton. The good thing is we can make a much healthier version with sweet potatoes and bake them instead of frying! You might look at this recipe and think really? It’s just sweet potatoes with a little salt and arrowroot? Will this work? Well it does!! Now baking doesn’t get them as crispy as a fried tater tot would be but if you want a quick pop of sweet potato goodness, these are the ticket.
Also, truth table – blog posts might be a bit short for the next month or so because baby snuggle are wildly distracting. Be sure to follow along on instagram for all of the sweetness and how i am navigating mom life!
This dipping sauce though…
Some extra arrowroot never hurt nobody!

Sweet Potato Tater Tots with Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder, also called flour or starch
- Cooking spray
- ¼ cup dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper .
- Bring water to a boil in a medium size pot. Peel sweet potatoes and cook for approx. 12-15 min. (you want potatoes to be par boiled, soft enough to pierce with a fork but still slightly firm). Drain and cool.
- Once potatoes are cool to touch, grate on a box grater. Sprinkle with salt.
- Form into "tots" approx. 1 inch in size.
- Place on lined baking sheet. Drizzle (or spray) tots with olive oil the toss with a little bit of arrowroot. I put the arrowroot in a mesh sieve and lightly tapped it over the top of them, then turned them to coat. Then spray or drizzle with a tad more olive oil.
- Cook 30 min., turning tots half way through cooking.
- For dipping sauce mix together dijon mustard and honey then season to taste with a little salt and pepper.
These look so fun, and like a good way to get my toddler to eat more sweet potatoes. When do you add the arrowroot powder?
Just added that!!
Where does arrowroot come in to play?
Just added that!!
Hi! Where does the arrowroot powder come in?
Just added that!!
Hey! Which step do you add the arrowroot? Is it after you have grated them and before you form them into tots? Apologies if I missed it above!
Just added that!!
At what point do you add the arrowroot?
Just added that!!
I’ve had these commercially. Always despaired I’d never be able to make them myself. This looks fresher, more nutritious, and so appealing. THANK YOU.
And snuggle away!
Thanks lady!!
these sound great! I wonder if you could freeze them then bake later?
Not sure if that would work but let me know if you try!
These were so fun and yummy! My girls (10 and 6) loved shaping them with me and their minds were blown that tater tots can be made at home, lol.
Haha thats awesome!
