Ingredients

2 cups Potatoes, peeled, cut, steamed
½ cup Carrots, peeled and grated
½ cup Courgettes, grated, squeezed
â…“ cup Cheddar cheese, grated
300g Potatoes, peeled, cut, steamed
50g Carrots, peeled and grated
50g Courgettes, grated, squeezed
40g Cheddar cheese, grated

Recipe Tips

Squeeze excess moisture from the courgettes and carrots to prevent soggy tots

For extra crispiness, lightly spray the tots with olive oil before baking

Method

  • 1
    Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper
  • 2
    Steam or boil the potatoes until soft and let them cool slightly
  • 3
    Transfer to a large mixing bowl and mash them with the back of a fork or a potato masher
  • 4
    Add the courgettes, carrots, and cheese, and give everything a good stir
  • 5
    Scoop a heaped tablespoon of the mixture and form it into a tot. Place on the prepared tray. Repeat with the remaining mixture
  • 6
    Drizzle with a little olive oil if desired
  • 7
    Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden
  • 8
    Let them cool completely before serving, as they will set while cooling
  • 9
    Buon appetito!
  • Storage

    Store cooled tots in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days

    To freeze, place them on a baking tray until solid, then transfer to a zip lock bag or freezable container for up to 2 months

    To reheat, place the tots on a baking sheet and bake at 160°C (320°F) until heated throughout and crispy on the outside
