Yummy Leftovers!

 Is there anyone who doesn't like Tater Tots? What's not to like about them? especially with your favorite dipping sauce but what exactly are Tater Tots? In the 1950s the Grigg Bros set out to reduce the waste from making frozen french  fries. Initially they sold the vegetable bi-products to farmers for livestock feed but they decided to try and make these leftovers into people food. They started by chopping up the potato scraps, mixing them with flour and spices, then shaping them with the help of a homemade plywood mold. They named their creation tater for potato and tot for small, Tater Tots and a star was born except that consumers were reluctant to try them because of their low price so they raised the price and the rest as they say is history.
