GF | DF | EF | NF | RSF
Course 1 meal a day, Baby Led Weaning, BLW, Snack
Servings 12 bites 

Equipment

  • grater
  • knife
  • mixing bowl
  • Frying Pan

Ingredients
  

  • 150 grams chicken mince 
  • 140 grams sweet potato 
  • 1 tsp paprika 
  • 1 garlic clove 
  • 1/2 tsp salt if appropriate 
  • 2 tbsp tapioca starch/flour 
  • 3 tbsp tallow or lard for frying 

Instructions
 

  • Peel and finely grate the sweet potato, squeezing the juice out into the sink before adding it to a bowl 
  • Take the chicken mince and squash it with the side of the knife to smooth out the texture. Add the chicken to the bowl with the sweet potato 
  • To the bowl also add the paprika, finely grated garlic clove, salt and the tapioca starch. Mix well to combine 
  • Roll into nugget size balls 
  • Preheat a large frying pan over a high heat and add in the tallow/lard. Once hot, place the bites into the pan 
  • Slightly reduce the heat to medium - high and fry on each side until golden, crunchy and cooked within 
  • * You can bake these in the oven instead of frying if you wish - I recommend drizzling them with olive oil and baking on 180 degrees for roughly 35 minutes until golden and cooked within. Flip the bites at the half way cooking point!
