[NEW] Tasty Sweet Tots

Tater tots are beloved by kids...and many grown-ups, let's be honest. This version combines yams with beans and uses baking to produce a more nutritious variation that's more flavorful than the regular potato version. Tip: Yams and sweet potatoes are not quite the same, but if you can't find yams, sweet potatoes are a suitable substitute.
