To buy

From your shelf
- one 14 oz bag sweet potato and cauliflower veggie tots, frozen
Staples
- 1 tablespoon oil
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- 1 clove, minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Spread the frozen tots in a single layer and cook, stirring every few minutes, until golden and crispy all over, about 15 minutes.
- While the tots cook, stir 1 tablespoon butter and 1 minced garlic clove into 1 cup plain yogurt along with the juice of half the lemon, a pinch of salt, and a grind of pepper.
- Divide the tots between two plates and serve with the herbed yogurt on the side and lemon wedges for squeezing over.
Note Swap the yogurt for sour cream or crème fraîche if you have it. Leftovers keep three days in the fridge and can be reheated in a dry skillet. Serve with a green salad dressed with lemon and oil or with a bowl of soup to stretch the meal.
