History of National Tater Tot Day

National Tater Tot Day was first celebrated in the year 2009. It started by the food writers as an effort to fill out their copy quota, and after they put it on his Twitter, it was an immediate hit. In the year 1953, Tater Tot was created when Ore-Ida founders Golden Grigg and F. Nephi Grigg were thinking about what to do with leftover pieces of cut-up potatoes. And then they decided to chop the pieces, and then they added seasoning and flour to them. Then they pushed the mash through holes and cut off pieces of the mixture. Tater Tot was first served in stores in the year 1956. Americans every year consume about 70 million Tots. Actually, in the American school system, Tater Tots happen to be the most famous side dish.
