Rediscovering Tater Tots

 Few American foods are as beloved as Tater Tots. This Ore Ida brand is beloved and served all over , from  cheesy dishes at fast food chains to a staple at college cafeterias.They're a fun , crunchy bite that's easy to make.

I 've been craving these for a while and thought they 'd go well with Gardein's Vegan fish filets.
What I like about them is that they're more bite sized than fries and fry up nicely in the air fryer. The extra crispy only take a total of ten minutes in the air fried, cooked at 400 degrees Farenheir,
They were a bit tinier than what I remembered.(is Ore Ida shrinking them?)but they were still crunchy and good. They were perfect with ketchup but I could have dipped them in barbecue sauce too. Tater tots are also great appetizers and I may make them for my next barbecue. You can turn them into nachos too, with  layer s of cheese and jalapenos. These can make for good party dishes however there's nothing like eating the little bites on their own Each bite bursts with a rich potato flavor and  it seems like blasphemy to cover up that taste.

Rediscover Tater Tots if  you haven't already. They're a great side dish but try them as an appetizer or an hors'douevre. What perfect little gems!!
