These Two Ingredient Cottage Cheese Tots are a simple, quick, and delicious snack or side dish made with only cottage cheese and breadcrumbs. Baked to a golden, crispy perfection, they offer a healthy alternative to traditional potato tots with a creamy interior and crunchy exterior.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cottage cheese
  • 1 and 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs (or gluten-free breadcrumbs if needed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the cottage cheese and panko breadcrumbs thoroughly until the mixture is firm enough to shape. If the mixture is too wet, add additional breadcrumbs until it holds its shape.
  3. Form tots: Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and shape it into small tot-shaped pieces using your hands. Place each shaped tot onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
  4. Bake the tots: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the tots are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Flip them halfway through baking to ensure even browning.
  5. Cool and serve: Remove the tots from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving to let them set and enhance the texture.

Notes

  • If the mixture is too wet, increase the amount of breadcrumbs slightly to achieve a firmer consistency.
  • Panko breadcrumbs give a crispier texture, but regular or gluten-free breadcrumbs can be used as alternatives.
  • These tots can be served with your favorite dipping sauces such as ketchup, ranch, or a spicy aioli.
  • For a lower-carb version, consider using almond flour or crushed pork rinds instead of breadcrumbs.
  • Ensure tots are spaced apart on the baking sheet to allow even cooking and crispiness.
