Keto "TATER TOT" Battle - The BEST Low Carb Veggie Tot Recipe!
Join me for a low carb "tater tot" battle! No, you can't really enjoy potatoes on a keto diet, and that includes the ever-popular "tater tot" we know and love in the US. Many companies have started to make veggie tots with cauliflower and broccoli, but they also include lots of starches and binders that make them just as carb-laden as their actual potato counterparts! We test two of the most popular "veggie tot" recipes that are truly low carb. Which comes out the winner? Let's find out!

Might give these a try-I’m usually disappointed in the cauliflower potato replacement options, but those actually look more like potatoes-and when Wesley’s eyebrows head north, you know it’s good.
You can find many alternatives as food ingredients. like radish for french fries
Maybe incorporate pork rind crumbs… perhaps as a coating…. 😄
Just sharing a tip I learned from an old low carb recipe book - if you press as much liquid out of cooked cauliflower as you can (and I mean until it's pretty much bone dry), the cauliflower flavor isn't nearly as strong in any recipe you use it in. Plus, for a mashed potato substitute, with butter and cream, not only does it taste much closer to potatoes, but the texture is a lot closer too.
Ahh! I just came across this one! So glad you liked the tots! Thank you for including my recipe! They're SO good with ketchup or ranch! :) Glad you gave 'em a try and always love seeing your reactions!
Thank you for stopping by to comment! 💜💜
The second recipe is really good in a mini waffle maker 😋 also easier haha
Oh, that sounds like a keto hash brown :)
Oh! What a good idea! 🤤😋
I think that’s a stellar idea!! I’m making them to go with dinner tonight!
@@TheTrouserPuppetsOfficial unfortunately no. Lol does taste like a hash brown though 🤗
That was my first thought, chaffle it! Lol
I'd rather just accept that there is NO replacement for a potato. 😭
That's how I am with pizza. To me, the crust is what makes a pizza and no keto options make the cut. Rather just save real pizza for when I'm off-keto or a treat.
FWIW, radishes instead of potatoes in my beef stew have been a satisfactory substitution.
I have found besides the viewing of the making of each recipe & then the taste test opinion, I also very much appreciate getting to meet new cooks through you.
Thank you very much for your referencing & steering me & hopefully other appreciative watchers to variety to help in this low carb/keto journey.
'Interesting' is such a polite term for what that broccoli mixture looks like! 😉☺
They look like the grinch!
Now we need a low carb Tater Tot Casserole recipe.
Oh yes!
Yessss plsss
It's not clean keto, but I use my mama's recipe for funeral potatoes (it's a Midwestern Thang), and just swap out the crumbled tots for a couple bags of raw cauli rice, and the original recipe's cornflakes for pork panko.
So,
- 1 can cream of chicken and mushroom soup
- 16 oz sour cream
- 16 oz shredded cheddar, divided
- 30 oz raw cauli rice
- 1 cup pork panko crumbs (or crushed pork rinds)
Stir all together with half of the shredded cheese, then press into greased 9×13. Top with the other half of cheese, and the pork panko. Bake at 375°F until cheese is deep golden across the top.
@@gigivarnum I had my very first funeral potato dish this past Saturday, but the gent who made them used hashbrowns, potato chips, sour cream, and a few other ingredients, but they were SO GOOOOOOD!!!
@@laurenhodges6411 my mama always uses defrosted, crumbled tater tots, but yeah, it's a Thing.
Thanks for sharing !! Awaiting for your cookbook !!
Thanks! Hope you like it!
What a nice surprise to see a notification pop up for you so soon after your last video. You made my day...keep up the great work and good luck with the move!
Add a grated turnip to the recipe for amazing flavor.
Thanks for another fun video.
The recipe I tried was very similar to the cauliflower one, I think it was a variation of a Maria Emmerich recipe that used zucchini and flax seed meal. The recipe called for the “tots” to be baked in a mini muffin pan. They turn out really crispy and great.
The cauliflower ones look great and I believe I have all the ingrediants for them too!
I just LOVE your videos!!😀thank you for all of your good energy and how fun you make watching, it helps keep me motivated on my low carb journey! Congrats on your new cookbook I will check out now.
I am certain your own clean hands in your own food is healthy and acceptable. These look really good, thank you.
I agree the same
Love the sweetashoney recipe! I make these for my 3 yo all the time. He loves these; they’re awesome with ranch or BBQ. Great way to sneak in extra veg and protein. I don’t usually add the onion to mine. Instead I use garlic powder and chipotle chili powder as seasonings.
Thanks Wes…good recipe battle. For the broccoli tots…the onions can be substituted with shallots to bring the carbs down. I’m guessing a touch of paprika and garlic powder will also go well with the Broccoli tots..
I froze them first then sprayed them down in olive oil pam... I put them in air fryer came out perfect
A special youtube channel for the low carb recipes!!!
This is awesome .!
No one here is interested to this diet...it always about ketogenic diet.
Thank you sooooooooooo much for your sweet and helpful channel.
Am still beginner in this diet know nothing about it and need much help.
Thanks a lot.
From Egypt 🇪🇬 with love.
"I only have one speed..."go"..."
Lmao
I got your cook book after preordering and it is fantastic. What would be amazing is if you did a series and did a video of each recipe. Your subscribers would looooove it. Don’t need the pics it is great recipes and your fantastic personality throughout. Congrats on this great book!!
Just pre ordered your cookbook! Yay Can't wait!!!
LOL @ “ I wonder if it tastes like coconuts” , “ I ain’t mad at it”
You always crack me up!
Amoretti potato extract is a great addition for tater-like things. But make sure you add a bit of extra salt.
Does it actually have a taste like potato or is it just the smell?
@@germangirl1509 it does taste like potato, but there's a slight sweetness as well. Works great to bridge the gap when I'm making turnips au gratin or roasted redskin radishes. (My honorary brother is diabetic and hired me as his personal chef when the pannie started, so I make and deliver fancypants meals that are under 20g net carbs, twice a week, to him and our friends that've signed on.)
@@gigivarnum Thanks, I think I will order it. I wonder if I could add the flavoring to Modernist pantry chaffle recipe with onion or onion powder, and little garlic to make it more of a hash brown chaffle?
@@germangirl1509 you could also coarsely shred turnips or peeled kohlrabi and precook them in the microwave, then blot them dry on paper towels or a linen dishtowel. Add some seasoning ans extract, and use those as a hash-brown texture in a chaffle iron, if you wanted to make it latke-like.
@@germangirl1509 I'm not familiar with Modernist Pantry's chaffle recipe, but Steve over at Serious Keto has a ton of chaffle recipes/videos that are fabulous. If you wanna taste one of *my* original recipes, Steve's video for keto sweet cornbread muffins was my recipe I sent to him 😁😁😁
The recipe by That Low Carb Life looks delish! I can't wait to try it. Also received notice that my cookbook was delivered today. Can't wait to get home and spend my evening with your delicious keto recipes!
2 in 3 days! I haven't even had time to watch the taco one (been crazy busy usually watch immediately like today)
Can’t wait to try the cauliflower tots tonight. I have everything on hand all the time so it seems an obvious choice. And I loved the suggestion to put a big dollop in a mini waffle maker - cauliflower tot/hash brown patties!
Good luck on the move!
Hi Wes, I just received the cookbook and it is wonderful. It would be a great resource for someone just starting out and needs ideas, and for anyone else who needs the same. Radishes are a great substitute, and have I used them shredded for a breakfast side and as a component in a casserole to give it that potato feel. It's now regularly in the grocery store already sliced up or as matchsticks. I grew some in my garden but could never grow enough to do all there is to do with them. Hopefully you are getting well settled in, unpacked and finding your way around your new neighborhood. All the best to you and your family!
I wonder if you could use a large circle piping tip for more of an official tot shape?
Or roll into a thin log, and then cut into the little pieces.
I am definitely going to give the cauliflower recipe a try. It looks the best & the easiest. Thanks, Wes!😀👍👍
You have such a presence on screen. Thank you for your energy!
Hi Wes! About the overload of onion in the first recipe; Carine from the Sweet as Honey website is French and in Europe in general the onions are much smaller than they are here in the US.
I am European, born and raised, but I moved to the US almost a decade ago. One thing that blew my mind when I got here is how ridiculously large the onions are in the US. One average onion here in the US weighs at least twice as much as the average onion back home in Europe, if not three times more.
I just pre-ordered the book. Can't wait to read it!
You somehow know when I'm in need of recipes for the keto diet! Thank you for all the help. This diet isn't an easy one but your videos really help.
The cauliflower tots are going to be on my dinner Menü
I have everything to make them
Thank you Wes
The second recipe is good while they are warm. The next day i used them as the tater tots in a breakfast casserole and they were great! Like i couldn't really tell and added some sugar free ketchup... mmmm. Thank you for posting!
You can also make these cauliflower tots into hash brown patties for breakfast... Fry till crispy.. thank you so so so much for all your hard work
I may adapt that second recipe a bit and try using this riced broccoli and cauliflower mix called FullGreen Riced that I came across at Walmart. The texture is so much like what you would see in actual tater tots or hashbrowns.
I know which one I'll be trying, you facial expressions are fantastic!!
Cheesy-tots with a dash of cauliflower - I can see that in my future 😋
Little detail but I always appreciate the tapping on the plate test. It really helps and tends to be the dish I prefer. 🙂
I have been trying to find a low carb graham cracker recipe for quite sometime now. Could you by chance do a battle on them? Also I love watching you !! I’m new to your channel
Thank you so much for doing these comparison recipes. You are my #1 for keto/low carb recipes and I already pre-ordered your cookbook and can't wait to get it. Keep up the great work!
Your delightful to watch!
I like your ability to give feedback on how things taste and info on why you might choose one over the other or how you might combine recipes for a different result.
Thanks. Going to try the cauliflower one. You had my mouth watering 😋😂🥰😜
Thank you Wes testing the recipes. I made the cauliflower tots and they turned out great! Next time I’m going to try them in my air fryer.
Can't wait to make these. I've been Keto for four years. I've lost 80 lbs. that I never dreamed ever I could lose. ❤💖❤
Tried the cauliflower recipe and they came out good! A bit dense but yummy. I made them into more of a chicken nugget size and did ten minutes on each side.
Can't wait to try the second set of them that you made! My cookbook is out for delivery today. I'm so excited!!!
My husband is Arab and we like falafel. I’m thinking that I could modify the broccoli recipe to create a low-carb version of falafel. 🧆
Ditch the cauliflower and use radish!
The frozen are full of fillers even though they taste pretty good but rather try the cauliflower recipe and make my own! As always, thank you Wes for making keto doable!
It's 3 am and I'm watching your video wesley
I wonder if you could roll these into a small long log, maybe with some kind of wrap to help with shape. Then you could chill so they would firm up and slice off small pieces to make the tots.
I got your book today!! Yay!! These both look like do-able recipes, thanks again, Wes.
I'm making the cauliflower one! Mmmm!!
Your book arived yesterday can't wait to get home and crack it open
Oh no you didn't! Going to watch this in about 15 minutes.
Thanks for all your hard work that you put into these battles Wes!
Wes I just wanted to say I LOVE the cookbook! Great recipes :)
Thank you! Please go leave a review under the Kindle edition listing on Amazon, if you don’t mind! 🙂❤️
Always enjoy your video's. I don't even eat keto. But love your program. Have made some recepies. Thank you so much. Greeting out of EU
defo trying the cauliflower ones,i am new here,but stayin ;) love your attitude :)
I will try the cauliflower tots, because I love cheese so much, great video 😊
I'm going to try those cauliflower tots...I love cheesy cauliflower w some crunch. Wonderful idea.
You could use a silicone mold to keep the shape of the tots and get the exact amount with each.
Congratulations on the cook book. Looking forward to great things from you.
What about using turnips or radishes? Those have the closest taste to potatoes … to me. But I will watch to see your thoughts on these veggies. Thanks again Wes!!
I roast quartered radishes and toss with seasonings for a really solid analog for potatoes al forne.
I may definitely have to give these a try (the cauliflower ones) as I love cheese and miss tater tots. Looking forward to your cookbook.
Yeah, I think I would stick with the cauliflower ones, 👍👍 Thank you Wes, hope your move to the West Coast was without problems.
Amazon says my book will be here tomorrow! Yippee!!
Thank you so much! I'll be making the second recipe!
Can you do scalloped potatoes Please I just love them. Someone had told me to try Turnups but I don't know how that would taste
Not a big cauliflower fan but those look worth a try!
After the hash brown episode I am surprised to not see something like radishes for these.
Maybe - use the cauliflower recipe with the broccoli?
As for the onion in the first recipe, while I Love onions, I wouldn’t want an onion tot. Perhaps for flavor, a scallion or two would work?
I like the idea of mixing the two veggies for an occasional change of flavor.
Consistently nice content 👍
I would like yo see you review the 2-3 ingredient keto pasta by the diet chef. Thanks
do you remember drop cookies, using two teaspoons back and forth to make a shape and drop it on the cooking sheet. I bet that would work well for the broccoli tot to get them to size. BTW happy to hear you and Serious Keto are doing some collab. work. Steve is great. Take care Wes.
Thanks Wes!
I pre-ordered the cook book. Can't wait till is out.
What about onion powder instead of the carbs in onion in the broccoli one? I want to try the caul. one. Thank you, as always fur great videos.
Yyyyyyaaaaaasssss!!!!! You know how to touch my FloriBama soul!!!!! Thank you WES!!! QUESTION: Are you from my hometown of Pensacola?!?!? You feel like MY KIN!!!!!! 💖💖💖
Ha! We lived in Pensacola for 16 years! Originally from Alabama. We hated to leave but my spouse's dream job called us first to Indianapolis for a 2-year stint. And now, I'm typing this comment in a hotel as we are currently moving cross-country to San Diego where we will call home. I miss my dear Pensacola beaches and friends terribly though! 💜💜
@@HighfalutinLowCarb All my extended fam is from Dolomite Alabama!!! You’re practically KINFOLK!!! My sister/cousin lives in San Diego so please let me know if you need any tips, advice or recommendations! You’re gonna love it. The weather is simply perfect there and the grocery stores are phenomenal! They are very keto friendly! Happy transitioning to Cali my Bama Brother 😘
I love you so much, you are so entertaining
I would fill a piping bag with a large tip.. or .. do the cut a corner of a baggie.. a squeeze them out .
I’m laughing at “one speed, go!”
My trusted Cuisinart is an older model, nothing fancy. So, Wes, how long did you need to pulse the ingredients?
He said about a minute
@@cassieoz1702 Thank you!
👍 YUM! Thanks, Wes! 👍
Love your videos. Congrats on the new book :)
Think I’d go with the cauliflower ones! 😋
Wes, do you think you could make the second recipe in a batch style and freeze? I wonder if they would freeze better before or after cooking. I am a working mom with a busy family so convenience is key.
Very best wishes on the move!
Safe travels, Sweetie! 😘 Thanks for the video! BTW, I keep meaning to ask, where did you get your scoop?
Thanks, Linda! I have this small one and larger one I got from Amazon. You can check my amazon store, or just search for "portion scoop." 🙂❤️
I knew I’d probably like the second recipe better just by seeing the ingredient. Even not as a tater tot alternative it just seems really tasty.
One speed GO! Love it!!😂🤩
Well…now I have the courage to try the cauliflower tots and I’m a skeptic, lol. Thanks Wes!
Your eyes always tell which recipe is best !! 👀 😁
Love your channel
Dang boy! You need to get you one those ninjers!
I will be ordering one of your cookbooks!
Just a thought--work out an exchange of onion powder instead of all the water in an onion.
I'm wondering what would happen if I subbed a bit of oat fiber for the coconut flour - not all, but enough to get a fiber offset of the carbs on both recipes. And maybe Daikon radish (peppery!) instead of onion for the first recipe?
First one would make a good fritter
