A frozen tater tot is a small cylinder of grated potato that is par-fried and sold ready to cook. It bakes or fries to a crisp, nubbly exterior with a fluffy, starchy center, and is commonly used for breakfast sides, casserole toppings, and party snacks; sold in bags of small, uniform pieces.\n\nTater tots originated in mid-20th-century United States as a way to utilize potato trim from french fry production and spread widely through diners and freezer aisles. They are now a staple of American comfort cooking with variations across school lunches, stadium menus, and home kitchens.
