Two Ingredient Cottage Cheese Tots

  • Author: Olivia Harper
  • Total Time: 35 mins
  • Yield: 10 tots 1x

Description

These Two Ingredient Cottage Cheese Tots are a game-changer for busy families seeking simple, nourishing food. They’re crispy, savory, unbelievably easy, packed with protein, and kid-approved, making them a versatile side dish or light main.

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups Full-Fat Cottage Cheese
½ cup All-Purpose Flour
½ teaspoon Salt
¼ teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the cottage cheese, flour, salt, and pepper. Stir everything until just combined. Do not overmix the mixture
  3. Scoop about a tablespoon of the mixture for each tot. Roll it gently between your palms to form a small, cylinder-like shape, similar to traditional tater tots. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all the mixture is used
  4. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the Two Ingredient Cottage Cheese Tots are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Flip them halfway through baking for even browning

Notes

Pro tips include draining watery cottage cheese slightly for firmer tots, ensuring your oven is fully preheated, not crowding the baking sheet, and seasoning generously for enhanced flavor.

Leftover tots can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat them on a baking sheet at 375°F (190°C) for 10-15 minutes, or in an air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes until crispy.

For gluten-free tots, swap all-purpose flour for a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend or almond flour. Customize flavor with fresh chopped herbs (chives, dill, parsley), garlic/onion powder, smoked paprika, chili powder, or grated Parmesan cheese.
