Sweet potato tots add nutrients while remaining similar in texture.

Defrost the tater tots until they are soft.

Preheat the sandwich press or waffle maker on medium-high to high heat.

Arrange the tater tots in the waffle maker, leaving some space for filling gaps later.

Press down on the tater tots and let them cook for about 30 seconds to a minute.

Check for gaps in the tater tots and break up some tater tots to fill those gaps for a uniform piece.

Close the waffle maker again and let it cook until done, checking for desired doneness.

Once golden brown, use kitchen scissors to carefully separate the waffles from the press.

Season with chicken salt or any preferred spices before serving.
