Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bake the sweet potatoes directly on the oven rack until tender, about 50 minutes. Let cool completely.
- Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Peel the sweet potatoes, transfer to a large bowl and mash. Stir in 1 1/2 cups crushed chips, the onion, butter and egg. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste; stir until combined.
- Spread the remaining 2 1/2 cups crushed chips in a shallow dish. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the sweet potato mixture into your hands and shape into a small 1-inch-long cylinder. Repeat to make about 36 cylinders. Roll in the crushed chips to coat on all sides and arrange on the prepared baking sheet; spray with cooking spray. Bake, rotating the pan halfway through, until crisp and golden, about 30 minutes. Season with salt.
- Meanwhile, mix the mayonnaise and Sriracha in a small bowl. Serve on the side for dipping.
EASY BAKED SWEET POTATO TATER TOTS
Steps:
- Poke holes in the sweet potatoes with a fork and bake in a 400-degree F (204 C) oven for 45 minutes - 1 hour until softened, OR in the microwave for about 5-6 minutes. Let cool to touch.
- While sweet potatoes are cooking, prepare coating. Add all ingredients EXCEPT butter to a food processor and blend until incorporated. While mixing, stream in butter. Dip your finger in to give it a taste. If you prefer it more savory, add more salt. If you prefer it sweeter, add more sugar or cinnamon.
- Peel sweet potatoes and add to a mixing bowl. Add cinnamon and mash - you're not looking for a puree, but rather a rough mash. If your sweet potatoes are already pretty sweet on their own, omit the sugar. Otherwise, add it in and mix.
- Set in fridge to chill and preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 C).
- Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray. Scoop out scant 1 Tbsp amounts of sweet potato puree and form them into a "tot" shape - an oblong circle.
- Transfer to coating and use a spoon to gently toss to coat. Transfer to baking sheet and spritz the top with olive or canola oil to help them crisp up (optional).
- Bake for 20 minutes, then gently flip. Bake for 20 minutes more then serve immediately. If you want them firmer, just bake them an additional 10-15 minutes. The longer you cook them the crispier they'll get!
- To freeze and bake later, form into tots, roll in coating, then transfer to baking sheet and freeze. Once thoroughly frozen, add to freezer-safe bag or container to store for later. When ready to bake, place on an oiled baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, flip, then bake for 25-30 minutes more or until they reach the desired doneness.
- You really don't need dip for these, but if you want, ketchup or a spicy aioli of some kind would be lovely.

SWEET POTATO TOTS WITH DILL DUST
Steps:
- For the dust: Place a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Pulse the dill and salt together in a food processor until the dill is finely ground and combined with the salt. Spread the dust in an even layer on a sheet pan and bake until dry, about 30 minutes.
- For the tots: Place the potato in a medium pot of cold, salted water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat until a knife inserts easily into the potato but the interior is still firm, 5 minutes. Transfer the potato into a colander and let cool slightly. Peel and coarsely chop the potato. Then process the potato in a food processor to very small chunks, 10 to 15 pulses. In a large bowl combine the flour, 1 teaspoon salt and the pepper. Add to the processed potatoes, mixing well with a spoon or spatula to distribute the flour mixture evenly through the potatoes. Form spoonfuls of the mixture into 2-inch logs.
- Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat to 350 degrees F. Fry the tots in small batches until they are golden brown and crispy, 2 minutes per side. Remove the tots from the oil with a slotted spoon and transfer to the baking sheet. Sprinkle the still warm tots with the dill dust. Continue frying and dusting the remaining tots.

Steps:
- Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and add the sweet potatoes. Cook for 5 minutes, drain and rinse with cold water to cool. Dry off any excess water with a kitchen towel.
- Put the onions and cooled sweet potatoes in the work bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal chopping blade. Pulse until the sweet potatoes are almost pureed but still a bit grainy. You should have some very small bits of potato visible. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and stir in the flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to combine.
- Using your hands, shape the potato mixture into 1- to 1 1/2-inch-long cylinders, packing them very tightly.
- Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep heavy skillet over medium-high heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil registers 350 degrees F. Line a large plate or baking sheet with paper towels.
- Working in batches, add the tater tots to the shimmering hot oil and cook until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes, turning with tongs or a slotted spoon to ensure even browning and being careful not to overcrowd the pan. With a slotted spoon or skimmer, remove the browned tots to the towel-lined plate to drain. Serve warm.
