Ingredients
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese, drained well
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
Instructions
- Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the drained full-fat cottage cheese and cornstarch. Stir well until a smooth, slightly thick batter-like mixture forms.
- Shape the Tots: Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter, ensuring they hold their shape well.
- Bake: Arrange the tots evenly on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until they turn golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the tots to cool slightly. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce for a tasty snack or appetizer.
Notes
- Ensure the cottage cheese is well-drained to avoid excess moisture which can prevent the tots from crisping properly.
- These tots can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
- Feel free to add spices or herbs like garlic powder, paprika, or chopped chives for extra flavor.
- Serving suggestion: pair with ketchup, ranch dressing, or a spicy aioli dip.
