Baked Sweet Potato Tater Tot Hushpuppies

I had a few bag of sweet potatoes left over and I wanted to try something new instead of making the usual, boring roasted and baked potatoes.  I thought why not try to make a little hushpuppy, tator-tot type snack with a healthy spin.  I've ordered a similar fried version of these at a restaurant once and totally fell in love with them. I wasn't sure how they would come out or how they would hold together but actually they came out fantastic and were a really light and guilt-free snack!  If you wanted to be a little bit more indulgent you can definitely fry these up and they would probably be even more delicious but if your trying to be a little more health-conscious then popping them in the oven will still give you a delicious little side dish or snack.
I will definitely be making these little guys again.

Here is how I made them...

Ingredients:
5 small sweet potatoes
2 eggs
1/2 cup of flour
1/2 cup corn meal
1 tbsp garlic powder
2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper

Directions:
Boil the sweet potatoes for about 10 minutes.  You just want to soften them up a bit but not completely cook.  Use the fine side of your cheese grater and grate each sweet potoato.  Mix the sweet potato with the egg.  Add in the flour, corn meal, garlic powder, salt and pepper.  Mix all together.  Spray or butter a mini muffin tin.  (I used my donut hole pan but a mini-muffin tin would work just as well).  Scoop the batter and fill each section to the top.  Bake at 350 degrees for about 15-20 minutes (until the tots are completely cooked through).
Serve with dipping sauce.
Enjoy!
Additionally, If you wanted to kick it up a notch you could totally add in some red pepper flakes, chopped onion or even some cilantro for extra flavor.
