Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup potato flakes
- Optional seasonings: garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese and potato flakes. Stir until the mixture is fully incorporated and a thick, dough-like consistency forms. If desired, add a sprinkle of your favorite seasonings.
- Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, portion out the cottage cheese mixture and gently roll or shape each portion into small logs or cylinders.
- Place the shaped tots on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1/2 inch apart to ensure even baking and crisping.
- Lightly spray the tops of the tots with cooking spray to help them achieve a crisp, golden-brown finish. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the tots are crispy and cooked through.
- Allow the tots to cool for a minute or two before serving. Pair them with your favorite dipping sauces.
Notes
To ensure your Two Ingredient Cottage Cheese Tots turn out perfectly crisp, drain the cottage cheese thoroughly before mixing. Bake at the recommended temperature and avoid overcrowding on the baking sheet for even air circulation.
