The history of Tater Tots
Tater tots were invented in 1953 by Ore-Ida founders F. Nephi and Golden Grigg. The brothers had an excess of cut-up, shredded potatoes and decided to shape them into small cylinders, coat them in a thin layer of flour and fry them. The name tater tot was coined in 1956.
Tater tots quickly became a popular side dish in the United States and many other countries. Today, they are widely available in grocery stores and restaurants, and they also come in a variety of flavors and shapes.
