What could be more delicious that a grab-and-go breakfast made from sweet potato and eggs? I love sweet potatoes and especially for breakfast! I found these tots in my local grocery store and decided to pair them up with eggs and ham for a super easy sweet potato cup. Success!

        Yes, they freeze well. You can reheat them in the microwave or the oven.

        Thanks! They are so easy to make too, just be sure to oil your muffin tin well or use muffin cups to make clean-up easier.

      Any thoughts on using fresh sweet potato instead of frozen sp?

        Fresh sweet potatoes would probably work fine, I think I would grate them so they would have the same type texture as the frozen tots. Good luck and let me know how it works!

      What type of oil? I have made these using regular tots and added some other ingredients but they stuck AWFUL to pan? LOVED them but a little worried about trying again because of how awful clean up was.

        I have had good results using foil muffin liners coated with non-stick spray. Hope that works better for you!

      I used regular sweet potatoes (really, yams) and just baked them as usual, pureed them with skins on along with 2 egg whites (next time I'd use at least one more, save yolks for filling) then baked as per recipe. The sweet potato cup did still turn out a bit soft so next time I'll try putting them in foil liners. They are delis though!

        Hi Jessica, I used Alexia brand sweet potato tots. I've seen these at most major grocery stores, so hopefully you will be able to find them at your local store. Good luck!!
