If you are using broccoli or cauliflower or a simmilar veggie, roughly chop them, coat with oil and salt, and roast at 450 for about 12 minutes. Pulse in a food processor after cooled to make pea sized pieces.

If you are using sweet potato/beets/carrots/celery/onion, or any simmilar veggie, roughly chop them, coat with oil and salt, and roast at 400 for about 18 minutes. Pulse in a food processor after cooled to make pea sized pieces.

If you are using a wetter veggie like zucchini or want to add a fruit like apple, you need to pulse them in a food processor first, then put them out into a cheese cloth or kitchen towel. Season with a pinch of salt and allow to sit about a half hour, then use the towel to wring out as much moisture as possible.

After the veggies are prepared, add them all to a bowl and add in the butter, egg, breadcrumbs, potato flakes, and cheese. Mix well.

Form the tots, preheat a pan or grill pan with a little olive oil, and cook on medium high heat to brown on all sides.

Serve with a dipping sauce, mine was just mayo, chili paste, and lime juice.
