The “tater tots” are small cylinder-shaped, deep-fried Grated potatoes, and are often served as side dishes. The dish originated in Ontario, Canada, and was first prepared by an American Frozen Company Ore-Ida. The term “tater” is short for Potato, and the name ” Tater Tot” is used as a generic name by the company since 1950.

The founders of Ore-Ida came up with the idea of utilizing the leftover slivers of the potatoes by mixing them with flour and seasonings. The mashed potatoes mixture was pushed through holes and were sliced for getting the perfect shape.

It is said that Americans consume a large amount of Tater tot daily, as they fit into the category of budget-friendly dishes. They are sold mostly in cafeterias and also as frozen food in supermarkets and grocery stores.

Varieties Of Tater Tots

Many vegetable substitutes were brought into the market as “veggie tot”- basically made of Broccoli and cauliflower, to increase the nutritional value of the Tater tot. Many varieties of Tater Tots have been introduced for the consumers -mixed with cheese toppings and chilies, with nacho cheese sauce, and much more. “Cheesy Tots” are one of the most popular dishes among them. Mexican- styled Tater Tacos are often seasoned with flavored toppings and are sold by leading fast-food restaurants, including Taco Bell.
