Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F / 218 degrees C. Grease 2 baking trays with cooking spray or cover with parchment paper.
Peel sweet potatoes and cut them in to even sized cubes and place them in a large microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 5 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Mash the potatoes with a fork.
Add salt, pepper, parmesan cheese, garlic, cayenne pepper and oregano to the mashed sweet potatos and mix until well combined.
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and panko.
Scoop out one tablespoon of the sweet potato mixture and and form into a cylinder, tater tot shape. Coat with the bread crumb mixture and place on a baking tray. Repeat to form the remaining tater tots.
Drizzle the tots with oil and bake for 10 minutes. Carefully turn and bake on the other side for 10 minutes, or until crispy and golden.

You can use any variety of sweet potatoes.
Peel and cube the sweet potatoes before microwaving. Alternatively, you can microwave whole sweet potatoes until tender and peel them.
Let the potatoes cool before mixing them with the other ingredients.
Toss all ingredients (except the breadcrumbs) into a food processor to make mixing even easier.
Use a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop to ensure your tots are uniform.
Wet your hands to prevent the mixture from sticking to your hands.
If you are having trouble forming the tots, refrigerate the mixture for 30 minutes.
Line your baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean up and to prevent the tots from sticking.
Storage - Keep leftovers in an airtight container inside the fridge for up to 5 days.
