“Gourmet” tater tots seem to be showing up everywhere these days, it’s like they’re staging a revolution. But since I never used to gravitate to them, maybe they’ve been their all along, I just didn’t notice. And every menu listing claims “the best” tater tots are available at their establishment.
I’ve sampled them at three places and so far what has stood out are the Sweet Potato Tater Tots, at Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem in San Francisco’s Mission neighborhood. Paired with a spicy sweet sauce, they were delicious!
While bar bites tend to balance heavily in the comfort food arena, tater tots take it to a whole new level. Most comfort food items can be made up to be interesting, different, and “gourmet” (mac and cheese springs to mind) but tater tots are the last thing I’d expect to undergo this sort of transformation.
Have you had tater tots done up in a new fangled way recently? What did you think?
