Hmm. Something to consider.

And yes, I think you’re right about Napoleon Dynamite. That’s certainly contributed to the increased attention tater tots are getting. But I think the hubbub *really* started over at eGullet.org, on the thread I linked to above. They can’t stop talking about tater tots. And they’re serious.

Did you find room for the duty-free gin in your suitcase?

i have not seen this elusive potato waffle. but i wouldnt be suprised if part of the commotion over tater tots is from their role in Napoleon Dynamite.

Still, a trip to England may be in order…

And Dave, thanks for stopping by! Glad to meet the man behind weber_cam. Your gnocchi tip sounds INSANELY good. I love gnocchi in general, so I can only imagine how tasty they’d be after deep-frying. Yikes.

Mmmmm. A long time ago Jeff Smith on PBS suggested it. I tried it and it was amazing.

Nice blog, I look forward to regular reads.

If you’d like to make 2005 the year of the tater tot you should definitely work in a trip to England, where you can meet the tot’s distant relative, the potato waffle. Who needs homefries and waffles when you can have them both in one conveniently frozen shape?
