We're gonna have to make our own sweet potato tater tots as I couldn't find a firm that manufactures them online.
SWEET POTATO TATER TOTS
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and grated
Add four minced green onions (I would consider this optional)
1 beaten egg
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
pepper to taste
Mix all of the above well, shape into tater tots and put on a baking sheet. Freeze them until you can bag them and store them in the freezer.
In my online travels, I found out a great deal about Tater Tots on the Ore-Ida site. The tater tot was invented in 1953 and put on the market in 1954. They were a staple in school cafeterias (We've always eaten badly, Ms. Obama) and they were sold at Sonic Drive-ins with or without chili and cheese on top.
Australians call them "potato gems" or "potato pom poms." Here in the U.S. 70 million pounds of them are sold on an annual basis. There are "regular" tater tots, onion, "crispy crowns" and "mini-tots" in the supermarket.
Not that Richie would welcome a purchase of any of them. His cousin Ruth Ellen e'd that whoever invented them, can have them. Detesting tater tots must be a genetic thing.
