Recipe type: Side dish, veggie
Serves: Makes about 20 tots
Ingredients
- 1 c shredded potatoes (I didn't peel mine, but you can do as you wish)
- 1 small zucchini, shredded
- 1/4 c cornmeal
- 1/4 c shredded sharp cheddar cheese (I used Cabot Sharp Light Cheddar)
- 1/2-1 t kosher salt (I used 1/2 t, but felt it could have used a bit more)
- freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 t onion powder
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F and spray a mini muffin pan with cooking spray or olive oil.
- Gather the shredded potatoes and zucchini into a kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
- Place the potatoes and zucchini in a bowl and add the remaining ingredients. Your hads are probably the best tool for the job.
- Scoop the mixture into the prepared muffin pan (I used a small cookie scoop), and press them down a bit. You should get about 20 tots.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
