Potato Tots, often referred to as tater tots, are bite-sized, cylindrical snacks made primarily from grated and seasoned potatoes. Originating from the United States, they were first introduced by frozen food brand Ore-Ida in the 1950s as a way to utilize leftover potato scraps. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, they are a popular comfort food often served alongside burgers or as a breakfast side. Traditional Potato Tots are deep-fried, which contributes to their high fat and calorie content. While potatoes themselves are a good source of vitamins C and B6, as well as potassium, the frying process often adds unhealthy trans fats and sodium. Some healthier variations, such as baked or air-fried tots, aim to maintain the crispy texture while reducing fat content. Look for recipes or products with minimal additives for a more nutritious option.
