I Like Tater Tots - Page 2

When they process potatoes for things like french fries, they have parts left over...potato lips, anuses, noses, stuff like that. They use those to make tots. They're kind of like the meat hot dogs of the potato world. That's why you have to use lots of ketchup.

I thought tater tots were Mr Potato-head's love children.

Sigh. I used to like the Tots, but my doctor says I can't any longer. All I can do is brush sliced sweet potatoes with light olive oil and roast them on a cookie sheet in a medium oven for like a half hour and drizzle them very lightly with maple syrup. But seriously, that's not as good as Tots.

That's a horrible lie. They never use potato lips and noses.

The lips and noses are mummified and sold as parts with "Mr. Potato Head™".

No, you're wrong.
Every time Mr. Potato Head takes a dump...

They're deep fried potato penises.

But they do use the eyes.

I'm pretty sure they are the same type of food sold in the UK as Oven Crunchies when I was a girl.

Mum was trying to get my bro to eat potatoes, so tried all the wacky potato-esque products available in the burgeoning frozen food sector. My sister and I loved it. Smiley faces, potato waffles, oven crunchies, croquettes. Bro hated all of them. We were gutted when she gave up. He wouldn't even eat proper British chips, it wasn't until American style fries were available did he consent to let the great potato into his mouth.

Strange child. Lived on thinly sliced roast beef in gravy and yorkshire pudding for years. Oh and Transformers pasta shapes in a bland (no bits) tomato sauce.

McDonalds hash browns are like giant, flattened tater tots.

Trilby · 12-09-2009, 11:08 AM

Burger King serves an ersatz-tater tot for breakfast and misleadingly call them "hash browns" - oh the humanity.
