They should taste good, since they are 99.99% pure caloric energy. Starch is to plants as fat is to animals. Enjoy in moderation.

Love tots. A local burger place serves them instead of fries and puts a pretty mean cajun seasoning on them.

i always fuck them up. I'm not that bad at cooking, just can't get these guys down.

Wish i had a deep fryer... probably wouldnt be so bad then.

tater tots are the lowest form of potato, just behind mashed

>>5379663
toss them in melted butter and creole seasoning (with extra black pepper)

thank me later

>>5379711
how fat are you

>>5379707
Are you on crack? Mashed potato is the best way to eat it.

>>5379707
I'd say boiled is the lowest

>>5379713
fat enough

>>5379718
the only good mashed potato is a red skinned one with more garlic in it than potato. enjoy your baby food lump
>>5379719
boiled potatoes are aiight in a sunday roast

>>5379728
only if your british

>>5379728
except i'm not

>>5379707
You know nothing of potatoes

>>5379741
you know nothing of good taste

Put some Old Bay on that shit

>>5379663
I prefer hash browns, but tater tots are a decent replacement.

Today you learned that "tater tot" is a term invented by the soulless Ore-Ida corporation to produce its soulless food. You have all fallen for it, sheeple.

>>5379837
It's an ingenious way of disposing of the scrap for when they skin the potatoes, and it's delicious

They're way fucking better baked in the oven. I love that crisp they get.

I like to bake mine on a Pam (oil spray) coated pan.... spread the tots out evenly.... spray more pam on top of each tot. Bake at 375 or so until just darker than a golden brown. Crispy heaven.

After trying all manner of dips: mayo, mustard, pickles, chutney. I've come to the conclusion that simple is best.

>>5379924
i like ranch dressing

>>5379924
I like to sprinkle mine with tomato powder and just a little vinegar powder.

>>5379924
your next test is ketchup, sugar-only ketchup, ketchupapeno, basalmic vinegar ketchup, heinz 57, and secret stadium sauce

>>5379663
Chili and melted cheddar over the top, eat with a fork. Don't get too fat and enjoy.

>>5379663
Tatchos:
Cook tots according to package
Meanwhile cook some taco meat
Remoe tots from oven and put in lasagna pan/brownie pan. Cant think of right name.
Top tots with taco meat, green onions, jalapenos, shredded cheese
Bake until cheese melted
Serve with salsas of your choice, sour cream if desired.

How many tots do you think you could put away, /ck/?

For some reason I feel like I could do like 100, but then 150 sounds like a fuckload to me.

Just to be clear, this is like food-contest-only-thing-you-eat-all-day kinda thing, not just a normal tot meal.

Homemade tater tots, errybody:

I hate it when you absolutely have to buy something from a store because it can only be made in a factory.

>>5380016
when it comes to tater tots and hash browns, the factory truly does it better

>>5380019
Enjoy your mystery chemicals and cancer

>>5380046
Look at the projecting nigger over here. What's the matter, had a bad day? Get back from the doctor with an autism diagnosis AND found out that water is a chemical?

Get your shit straight: ALL FOOD IS ORGANIC. I bet you are afraid of teflon and BPA too.

Know the soy you base your bullshit vegan diet on? IT'S ALL GMO!!! Look in the mirror at your canines and weep.

>>5379924
Ketchup and salt is literally all you need.

Yes.

LITERALLY.

Gonna buy me another bag of these the day after tomorrow

Fucking love shit like this especially when I eat them when I watch the new UFC PPV

>>5380049
You are one dumb motherfucker. I can't even begin to tell you how stupid you are.

Am I seriously the only oven crispy person? Fucking c'mon.

>>5379719
Boiled are the shit as long as you're using thin-skinned taters and some dill.
Fucking delicious.

>>5379728
Dude you've got be on just like fuckin straight up drugs about this.

>Not appreciated absolutely based mash

You ain't worth a toss.

Nigger these are POTATO GEMS

What the fuck is 'tater tots' even supposed to mean?

>>5380523
Agreed. Or even butter and parsley.

defrost the tots a little, cut in half, put cheese in the middle and wrap in a bacon strip. Following that, bake them. Super fatty but nonetheless , delicious.

mix ranch and a1. 70/30.

Love em. Little garlic salt, cayenne pepper and black pepper before baking, then either ranch or ketchup for dipping. Great for filler in a breakfast burrito as well.

nother guy who favours boiled over mashed here

mash is boring as fuck

jersey royals boiled in their skins then sauteed with mustard seeds, onion, butter and lemon, finished with coriander - god tier

also big fan of roasts

I have a love/hate relationship with the greasy little fucks. My tongue is stained with the taste of potato and ketchup.

Britfag here, I'm confused, are "tater tots" what you call potato croquettes?

>>5380924
I think your croquettes are bigger. And often have stuff in them besides potato? Of course, I could be wrong.

Buy biggest bag possible to prevent expensive munchie runs later. 10lb bag for 8.99 lasted me a few months.

Either>>5379711
Or cook in skillet and mash them to make ghetto hash browns. Add veggies or eggs if desired
Or bake and cover with that one sweet chili sauce that comes in a glass bottle and is good as fuck so it glazes into amazingness
Bacon is also always a good additive
I never end up deep frying the frozen ones well

Always bake in aluminum foil for easy clean up

>>5379663
Protip try them with siracha or other hot sauce to make them taste awesome
