Courgette and Apple Tater Tots

The other day I was looking up different recipes with courgettes as I had a large bag of them and needed inspiration.

Nakoa's birthday is coming up so I'm deciding what's going to be on the menu. Don't want any family members rolling their eyes at the 'Vegan menu ' selection. Then I saw the Tater Tots and just the name sounds so fun and appetising. The recipe I saw was for courgettes and I made two batches. One with courgettes and the other with apples.


Today I tried out apple (top) And courgette (bottom) tater tops.

These are so simple to make, they only require 4 ingredients and I think these are great finger foods for a party/gathering. 
They can be served at kids and adults parties or just to have as a side dish at home like what I'm doing now  
follow the recipe below and if you want to make the apples tots then replace the courgettes for apples. It's that simple. 




3 large potatoes, peeled
2 courgettes, grated (large holes)
1 tsp salt
Olive oil

- Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil and cook potatoes for 20-30 minutes, until fork tender but still hard in the middle. Drain water and let potatoes cool until they are comfortable to handle. You want them to still be warm.

- Preheat oven to 220ÂșC. Grate potatoes on the large side of a box grater and put into a large bowl. Grate each courgette and squeeze out the liquid using a clean dishtowel or kitchen roll


- Place grated courgette into the bowl with the potatoes and add 1 teaspoons salt. Use your hands to mix everything together.

- Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper. Use your hands to form small cylinders with the mixture. Use about 1 tablespoon per tater tot. Place the cookie sheet in the freezer for about 10 minutes to allow them to firm up.

- Brush the top of each tater tot with a small amount of olive oil.

- Bake tater tots until browned a crispy, about 30 minutes flipping halfway though.
 
- Serve with ketchup or bbq sauce if desired, or why not try my vegan sour cream which you can find on here.
