A good source of fiber, potassium, and vitamins A, C, and B6, sweet potatoes are a filling mainstay for kids and adults alike. But baked sweet potatoes can get boring fast. To keep things interesting, try mixing it up with sweet potato-based tater tots, mac and cheese, tender pull-apart rolls, risotto, and more kid-friendly favorites.
Crispy bits of Mexican chorizo (fresh, crumbly sausage — not to be confused with Spanish chorizo) create a delicious topping for this sweet-spicy take on mac and cheese. There's a fair amount of heat here, so for mild palates and kids, use less chipotle.
Using white sweet potatoes in place of starchy russet potatoes makes this gnocchi dough more forgiving if overworked. The dumplings won’t overcook as easily, and the result feels lighter in your happy belly. This recipe makes loads of the fresh dumplings, so you can cook half tonight and freeze the rest for another time. Kids love them in a cheesy sauce or marinara.
Sweet potato tots are a great way to sneak veggies into a picky eater’s meal—and this homemade version is more affordable than buying pre-made, frozen sweet potato tots. Cooking them in the air fryer yields a slightly crisp exterior and a soft interior. We suggest you spray the tots with cooking spray helps to help with browning. Be sure to boil the sweet potatoes just enough that they grate and hold together when shaped, but still retain a little texture.
