What are Tater Tots?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tater tots are just like mini hash browns - grated potatoes formed into cylinder shapes with a crispy golden exterior and fluffy on the inside interior. Created by Ore-Ida an American brand of potato based frozen foods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the UK you will find these are called Hash Brown Bites<\/strong><\/a> - all supermarkets have their own versions, but if you prefer you can also use a smaller amount of regular hash browns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
