Fill a medium pot with water and put it on the stovetop to boil. While waiting for the water to boil, use a potato peeler to peel the skin off of the potatoes.
Once the water is at a boil, place the sweet potatoes into the pot for 12 minutes.
When the sweet potatoes are done boiling, sit them out to cool for about 10 minutes.
Once the sweet potatoes are cooled off, use an extra coarse hand grater or box grater to grate them. I'd recommend putting a paper towel over a large plate because it will help to soak up extra moisture after all of the sweet potatoes are grated.
Once you're finished grating, spread out the shredded sweet potatoes and then place another paper towel on top. Press down, and then let it sit for about 5 minutes to soak up the extra moisture.
Meanwhile, combine the chickpea flour, salt, cumin, garlic powder, and black pepper into a large bowl. Then add in the grated sweet potatoes and use your hands to mix until fully combined.
Once the sweet potatoes are combined with the flour and spices, add in the olive oil and mix until combined.
Next, preheat your air fryer to 375 F.
Form the mixture into tots- mine made 25!
Put half the batch into the air fryer and cook for 8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. When they are finished cooking, remove and cook the second batch.
