Read on for your ultimate guide to tater tots plus beer.

Who Came Up With the Idea for Tater Tots

 Tater tots were invented by two brothers back in 1953 who used leftover mashed potatoes from their restaurant. The idea quickly caught on, due to its nostalgic taste and convenience. Nowadays, they have become an almost essential part of any gathering or meal – no surprise there!

What Ingredients Go Into Making a Good Tater Tot and Where Can You Buy Them

 Tater tots are made from a mixture of potatoes, cheese, onion flakes and salt that is shaped into small cylinders or balls. These ingredients can be found in most supermarkets as well as bulk food stores, where you can buy already-made tater tots if you don’t feel like making them yourself.

Why Do People Like Tater Tots and What Are Some Ways To Enjoy Them?

There’s something special about tater tots that make them more than just another side dish – they embody childhood memories of after school snacks and weekend lunches. People love the taste of salty potatoes mixed with melted cheese, combined with their crunchy texture.

And the best part is that there are numerous ways to enjoy this classic treat: oven-baked or cooked crispy in a pan on the stove top; topped with chili or served Greek-style with feta; fried until golden then dusted with Parmesan or simply sprinkled with lots of salt – it’s up to you!

Taste Test – How Do Different Brands Of Tater Tots Compare?

Different brands offer different flavors such as sour cream ‘n chives, spicy jalapeno or cheesy bacon; so if you want an edge when it comes to creating the perfect snack platter for your next event, we suggest doing a mini taste test at home before committing!

This will help you determine which ones are worth stocking up on for future events. So gather your friends around and get ready for some serious tasting fun!

Beer Pairing – Which Beers Go Well With Tater Tots?

When it comes down to beer pairings, you want something that complements rather than overpowering the robust flavor of tater tots (think light lagers).

A nice cold pilsner goes well with plain tator tots while ales offer options such as IPAs which perfectly complement cheesy flavors (think nacho cheese flavored tator tot dippers).

Or why not try something new like a stout paired with buffalo blue cheese tators!?

Whatever your choice may be – go ahead and experiment – after all it’s all about having fun whilst indulging in some tasty treats!

15 Tips for Tater Tots, Beer and Good Times

  1. Keep it simple – plain tater tots are always a winner!
  2. Spice it up – try adding different toppings such as chili or feta cheese for a more flavorful experience.
  3. Get creative – why not try cooking your tater tots in the oven, on the stove top or even in the deep fryer if you’re feeling adventurous!
  4. Try out different brands – some come with their own unique flavors like sour cream ‘n chives, spicy jalapeno or cheesy bacon for that extra something special.
  5. Keep it cold – grab yourself a nice cold beer to pair with your tater tots for maximum flavor and crunchy texture satisfaction!
  6. All about balance – ensure there is enough salt so that you can taste the potatoes but not too much that it overpowers everything else on the plate (not just the taters!).
  7. Take time out – slow down, take your time and enjoy every bite of these heavenly little treats!
  8. Sweeten things up – why not try sprinkling sugar over your tater tots for a sweet twist?
  9. Go Greek-style – put feta cheese on top of your tator tots for an interesting and delicious twist!
  10. No waste allowed – make sure you use any leftovers by either reheating them in a pan or freezing them and having them later as part of another meal (like potato wedges!)
  11. Cheese please – don’t forget that melted cheese is what makes these golden little morsels so irresistible; no matter how you cook them, make sure you add plenty of cheese!
  12. Best brewing buddies – find beers that will compliment rather than overpower the flavor of your tasty taters; from light lagers through to IPAs and stouts; there’s so much choice when it comes to beery partners for your potatoes!
  13. Save money – bulk food stores usually have really good deals on pre-made tater tots so keep an eye out for those!
  14. Variety is key – mix things up by combining salty snacks like chips or popcorn with sweet treats like cookies; this way everyone has something they can enjoy without feeling guilty afterwards!
  15. Have fun – last but not least, remember that when it comes down to it, no one ever gets mad at someone who brings these goodies along to a party; they’ll love being able to indulge in some good old-fashioned nostalgia along with good conversation and drinks!
