WHY WE LOVE NATIONAL TATER TOT DAY
Potatoes are an American staple
Baked. Scalloped. Au gratin. No arguments here. Nevertheless, when that potato is a tiny little tot you can just appear your mouth, well, we appear to like them even more.

Tater tots lower potato waste
Did you understand that they’re made from the leftover parts of french fries? By eating them, you’re keeping potato waste to a minimum.

Tater kids are great for “on the go”
As much as we love a good baked potato, they’re not very portable. Ever attempt to eat one while driving? Tots, on the other hand, can be delighted in anytime, anywhere!
