sweet potato tater tots with sriracha aioli
“Indulge in savory satisfaction with our tantalizing creation—Sweet Potato Tater Tots with Sriracha Aioli. A crispy sensation that transforms snacking into a flavorful delight.”
Last October, Mr. B and I moved into a new area of town called LoHi.
LoHi (or Lower Highlands) is a neighborhood pocket just north of downtown Denver. It’s a whole 3 miles from our last place in LoDo. Can you guess what that LoDo means? Yep, Lower Downtown!
If you’ve ever experienced an in-town move, you know it’s the worst kind. Instead of just loading up a big ol’ moving van, you end up making 4,276 trips between the old and new place just shuffling crap. Not only was this a drag on FOREVER type of move, it came at the worst possible time ….actually, is there ever any good time to move your shiz? I was nearing the end of my marathon training, Mr. B was getting ready to transition to new a job, and our five year anniversary was quickly approaching. To tell you the truth, how we managed to get everything done and remain married baffles me to this day.
But! I am firm believer that despite what seems to be a never ending struggle leading to no good, usually turns out to be the best thing for you. After all of the shuffling and re-organizing, running twenty miles, and saying yes to a new job, we now have more space for our stuff – my shoes, a garden, and a yard, all within an actual neighborhood. Praise the Lord! Plus, our place is a couple blocks down from the foodie mecca of Denver!
This brings me to the main point of today’s post. Last week I posted a picture on Instagram of tater tots with sriracha aioli. Y’all went tater tot bananas over these little fellows. Rightfully so, of course. I found these sexy of a gem tater tots at Uber Sausage (located in the foodie mecca) that opened up last month. They sell every kind of brat under the grill and the most delicious sides, my favorite being the tots. Now, being a good foodie and friend, I naturally had to re-create these bad boys so you could make them at home.
Instead of traditional tots, I subbed in sweet potato tots. But the pièce de résistance is the sriracha ailoi. This my friends is where the magic happens. And yes, this recipe I’m giving you today is the real deal Holy-egg-field. A raw egg isn’t scary so put on your big mitts or panties and dewwwwww it. I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Now, take your tater tot, dip it or roll it in the sriracha aioli, and remember that life tastes good!
“Conclude your snack journey with the perfect blend of Sweet Potato Tater Tots and zesty Sriracha Aioli—a crispy, spicy treat that leaves your taste buds longing for more.”
ew. Those moves make me want to scream. Totally not true with these tots though. They look like pure genius!
Aren’t they the worst? Thank goodness for tater tots that keep us distracted!
These tots and aioli look sinfully good!!
Thanks, Jenna!
Hi Lauren – I found your blog randomly when I signed into twitter and saw these tater tots! How fabulous!
I’ve been poking around your blog, some great recipes here!
Nice to know you, I lived in Aspen after college, so I look forward to reading about your Colorado adventures.

Hi Lori Lynn! I am so glad you stopped by to say hello! I have friends that live in Basalt and try to visit them often. Love that area of Colorado!
GIRL! I have been drooling over these since you posted the IG picture!! I’m so glad that you recreated them so I can taste them out down here!!
Thanks, Emily! I hope you like. I think the sweet potato addition adds the perfect touch.
The hassle of a move is definitely all worth it if you land right in the middle of food mecca. I haven’t been to Denver for so long, but it sounds as though I need to plan a trip…just to eat at all of the restaurants!
I never thought I’d say that tater tots were gorgeous…but these ones are!
Thanks, Dara! You are always welcome to hang with me in the Mile High City! I promise to take you to all the great foodie places:)
YUMM!! These little tots look amazing and with that spicy aioli? YES!
Thanks, Tieghan!
I am so excited to see this recipe here today! I am a new believer of anything with sriracha so it being paired with tater tots is putting my local Sonic out of BUSINESS.
Ha! Thanks, Meagan! Sriracha really does make everything better:)
Saw these over on our Food Blogger board and pinterest and had to stop by to get the recipe. They look awesome and the aoli would work on so many things.
Thanks for stopping by Peter! I hope you enjoy the recipe!
You may just live right near my friend. Seems like I remember her saying her house is in LoHi….anyway, if you see a blond girl walking a brown dog, you should wave and say, “hi Kristin!” This is probably a great way of meeting a lot of girls who are not named Kristin 😉
Your tater tots look amazing! And cute! Tater tots were my favorite when I was a kid and I’m feeling like I need to feed my inner child. 😉 sriracha aioli? ON IT!
Holy tater tots, girlfriend. Truth be told, I could eat the aioli with just a spoon. I have a major thing for anything with sriracha. YUM!
I am dreading the day we move – I just don’t know how we will make it through it in one piece. hahah If anything can save a marriage on the move it’s TOTS!! So, can I have some of your tots?
Moving never comes at an opportune time but looking back, it’s usually a good thing.
And tots – definitely always a good thing, especially with sriracha involved. LOVE this, so, so much.
Totally craving tater tots right now!
Oh man do these look amazing, Lauren! They remind me of a little indulgence my husband and I get sometimes here in Austin… crispy tots topped with spicy crumbled sausage, sriracha, green onions, and queso. Un-real.
I’ve got to remember to not check your blog when I’m at work! It’s 1015am and I now feel the need to drive over to LoHi, pick up a side of tots, an Uber sausage, and wash it all down with a comicon at the Ale House. Is it Friday yet?
XO
Ha! Thanks, friend! You are always welcome to stop by. I would gladly share my tots!
These look fabulous! Definitely getting made on burger night this weekend! Thank you for your genius 🙂
Thanks, Christina! I need to have a permanent burger night in our household:) Sounds like fun!
These tots are epic! Seriously. I’m so smitten with everything about them.
Thanks, Ashley! I’m thinking I need to whip up another batch soon. Epic tots need to happen more often:)
WHAT DID YOU JUST DO?! I love this. I had a brief fascination with the idea of starting a food truck (food trucks are big in LA) with a tater tot theme and calling it Tot Wheels. Love me some tots.
WHAT THE WHAT!!!!!!!!!!! I can’t handle this!! I want 4,304,420. GIVE ME THE TOTS!!!!!
In-town moves are the worst! I’ve done it 4 times. One of which was a 3 block move….I went back a trillion times during the move. On a happier note….I want to swan dive into that bucket of tots!
I’m with Liz… Seriously let’s just make a quadruple batch and call it good… and a straw for the aioli! :9
I think I’m in love with that aioli.
I. want. these. NOW. {pretty please}
Thanks, Brenda! I’ll send some to you ASAP!
Heavenly! I want these right now!!
Hello, genius! And exactly what I want to eat every day on earth!
Gosh dang these look good.
Ohh yum! These look like absolute perfection, great recipe! 🙂
Moving sucks! We’ve moved like 7 times in our 6 years of marriage! It’s crazy! However these little gems have caught my attention! Will be making these for my husband soon!
Where in Denver do you find sweet potato tater tots!!!
Thanks
Hi Shannon! I found them at Whole Foods and Sprouts Farmer’s Market. They are from a brand called, Alexia Foods! Hope that helps!
Howdy would you mind stating which blog platform you’re using?
I’m planning to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a difficult time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique.
P.S My apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
Looks so good and I followed the recipe to a T but my aioli turned out terrible! Tasted like olive oil only and had no mayo consistency. I was so sad. Maybe you can email me and help a girl out! 🙂
This looks amazing and I want to make these! Just ummm… I live in South Africa and we do not have frozen sweet potato tater tots.
Does anyone have a recipe how to make these yourself? 🙂

I’m pretty sure 2 cups of aioli is a misprint.
A person necessarily help to make seriously articles I might
state. That is the first time I frequented your website page and up to now?
I surprised with the analysis you made to make
this particular publish amazing. Fantastic job!
