Her: Crunchy!
Me: [digs up school lunch menu.. thinks. red?? meat????] Tater tots??
Her: Yeah!!! That's it!! Can we have em at home sometime?

Think of them as the tiniest of potato croquettes or jumbo dwarf french fries. That would be "chips" to you.;)

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.

ZenGum 12-07-2009 09:33 PM

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

Undertoad 12-07-2009 09:42 PM

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.

Crimson Ghost 12-07-2009 11:59 PM

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...

Let your imagination run wild with that.....

They're deep fried potato penises.

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 10:08 AM

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

glatt 12-09-2009 10:23 AM

tater tots are delicious. McDonald's hash browns are disgusting.

I like my tots crisp and kind crunchy. Mushy tots are as bad as McDonald's hash browns.

agreed. McDonalds hash browns are like a big, uber greasy, soggy-boggy potato chip. Yick.

Sundae 12-09-2009 11:36 AM

Damn. I have to confess I liking for McDonalds stylee hash browns (or "hashee brahns" as the Italian server on the breakfast shift used to shout to the kitchen at my local McD's).

Tell you what - first Dwellar to buy me/ cook me proper hash browns gets 100 extra Cellar points. Of course, you gotta fly me over there first...

God, that sounds good, though!

Tater Pie.

TheMercenary 12-10-2009 08:24 AM

Potato pie is very similar to Pumpkin pie. Potato pie is very popular in the South made with sweet potatos or yams.

xoxoxoBruce 12-10-2009 08:29 AM

Carver was promoting sweet potatoes, and from "a lump of butter the size of a hen's egg", I'd say dairy cattle, too. :haha:

Shawnee123 12-10-2009 08:42 AM

Hash browns = the Bob Evans ones you buy in the store (next to snausagez and baconz) that aren't frozen: throw in the skillet with some canola and eat 'em up. :yum:

However, you actually go to Bobs and they give you chunks of potatos that are mushy and gross. They call them "home fries"? Homely fries, if you ask me.

Trilby 12-10-2009 09:17 AM

only REAL hash browns come from a truck stop on I-95.

Everyone knows that.

Reminds me of the 7-Up cookbook that was linked to here a couple of years back. In fact there was a whole series of links to recipes of yesteryear. As I remember I almost got locked in the building because I couldn't stop reading them and laughing.

Have tried searching, can't find the link.
I'll repost if I do.

ETA - found the Weight Watchers ones (link by Mr Noodle, much missed)
AH! Turns out there is a link to The Gallery of Regrettable Food from the above website.
Please go look. Not only the 7-Up cookbook, but Meat! Meat! Meat! had me weeping. And probably more which I'm off to rediscover.

xoxoxoBruce 12-11-2009 09:52 AM

On 7-Up...

At least it’s pure; we all remember Upton Sinclair’s muckraking expose of the horrible conditions of the bottling industry, and how the government mandated strict standards to ensure that the amount of dessicated beetle shell or pigeon bile was kept to less than 1 part per trillion. “Wholesome” seems an odd word, since it has moral connotations – but so does “pure” and “good,” come to think of it. IS this soda pop or the fluid that weeps from a statue of a saint? They make it sound like something Doris Day would use as a douche.
:lol:

I've never EVER liked tater tots!

They are the spam of potato.

Tulip 01-27-2010 11:12 PM

I don't know about y'all, but the McD near my home makes mighty crunchy hash browns. As much as I like them, I don't eat them anymore. Too greasy...:greenface

lumberjim 01-27-2010 11:22 PM

only thing worse for you than fried potatoes is donuts.
