Step-by-Step Instructions for Carrot Potato Tots
  1. Prepare Vegetables: Begin by peeling and chopping the medium potato and carrots into small, even pieces, aiming for cubes roughly 1 inch in size.
  2. Cook Vegetables: Place the chopped potato and carrots in a steamer basket over boiling water for about 10-15 minutes until soft.
  3. Mash Vegetables: Transfer the steamed vegetables to a mixing bowl while still warm and mash them, leaving some lumps.
  4. Incorporate Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the warm mixture and stir gently to combine.
  5. Shape Tots: Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then with oiled hands, shape it into small cylindrical or ball shapes.
  6. Cook Tots: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the tots on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Serve: Let the tots cool briefly before serving. Pair with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy alone.
