Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut the sweet potatoes in half and then down into 1/2 inch half-moons and add to a microwave safe container or steamer basket on the stove.
Microwave the potatoes on high for 5 minutes or steam for 5 minutes on the stove in a covered steamer basket over simmering water.
Add the sweet potato rounds to the food processor (about 1/2 of the sweet potatoes). Pulse on high until the sweet potatoes resemble rice (about 30 seconds)
Remove the sweet potato rice and put it in a large bowl for mixing. Pulse the rest of the sweet potato rounds in the food processor.
Add the ground flax, almond meal and salt to the sweet potato rice.
Mix the sweet potatoes, ground flax, almond meal and salt together well. Let sit for 2-3 minutes to let the flax start to bind the sweet potatoes.
Add parchment paper to a rimmed cookie sheet. Spray with nonstick spray (avocado oil or olive oil)
Add about 1-1 1/2 tablespoons of mixture to your non-dominant hand. Press the mixture together in your hand to form a cylinder shape while pressing down on the top and the bottom with the pointer finger and thumb of your dominant hand.
Repeat until you have about 32 tots.
Once all the tater tots have been formed, place in oven for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, take the tots out of the oven and flip them to the other side. Bake 10 more minutes.
