Air Fryer Sweet Potato Tots
  1. 1

    Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the sweet potatoes. Boil until they can be pierced with a fork but remain firm, about 15 minutes. Do not over-boil or they will be difficult to grate. Drain and let cool.

  2. 2

    Grate the sweet potatoes into a bowl with a box grater. Gently mix in the Cajun seasoning. Shape the mixture into tot-like cylinders.

  3. 3

    Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray. Arrange the tots in the basket in a single row so they do not touch each other or the sides. Spray the tots with olive oil spray and sprinkle with sea salt.

  4. 4

    Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and cook the tots for 8 minutes. Turn them, spray with more olive oil spray, and sprinkle with more sea salt. Cook for another 8 minutes.
