What are tater tots?
Have to say without knowing that it sounds yummy!

Last night, I can't believe I ate the last few handfuls of pretzels in the bag and a packet of beef jerky after having dinner. Am convincing myself that it was all low fat and better than most snacks... Just disappointed that I gave in to greed when I didn't need to eat.

Tater tots are grated potatoes that are made into little balls and deep-fried. They're very common in U.S. school cafeterias, and they're horrible for you - but delicious.

One of the two known essential toppings for green-bean casserôle, SG. While beans-n-glop baked en casserôle is edible, unless you have a violent antipathy to cream of mushroom condensed soup, the Tater Tots on top, baking into crispness, really add something essential to the dish.

The other known essential topping is canned Durkee crisp-fried onions, which like the Tots have a deep-fried garnishy goodness that greatly improves the casserole... okay, I'm leaving off the circumflex.

Green Bean Casserole's invention is well documented. It was a recipe specifically devised to use canned goods that practically every kitchen contained about all of the time. Actually, despite growing up in the Canned Food Decade of the Sixties, I never had the stuff as a kid, but learned the recipe aboard a nuclear submarine.
