Carrot and Potato Tots with mozzarella

 

I had made carrot and potato tots for Grandson C using cottage cheese a few weeks back.  Then I decided to try them again using shredded mozzarella cheese.  This worked much better as the tots held up well with this cheese. They were easier to form and can be held firmly.  They are so good, and easy to make.  It is a great idea for an adult appetizer especially in the holiday season!  Daughter L thinks it will go with a nice dip such as yogurt  with hot sauce.

After all that, we have decided to postpone this snack until C is maybe 9 months or older as it may still be a choking hazard right now.

Here is the recipe:

1 medium potato peeled

2 medium carrots

1/2c shredded mozzarella cheese

Boil potato, carrots until tender. Drain and mash while warm.  Mix in cheese. Form into 1 tbs cylinders as pictured.

Bake 350F 20 mins, flip and bake for another 10 mins.
