Main Ingredients
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese, drained well
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
Instructions
- Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, mix the well-drained full-fat cottage cheese with the cornstarch until you achieve a smooth and slightly thick batter-like consistency.
- Shape the Tots: Roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls approximately 1 inch in diameter to ensure even baking and a perfect tot shape.
- Bake: Arrange the tots on the prepared baking sheet and bake them in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Cool and Serve: Let the tots cool for a few minutes to firm up before serving. Enjoy them with your favorite dipping sauce for a tasty snack or side.
Notes
- Make sure to drain the cottage cheese thoroughly to prevent excess moisture which can affect the texture.
- You can use a small cookie scoop or spoon to make rolling the tots easier and uniform.
- If desired, add herbs or spices like chives, garlic powder, or paprika to the mixture for extra flavor.
- These tots can be reheated in the oven to regain crispiness if needed.
- Serve with ketchup, ranch, or any preferred dipping sauce for added taste.
