Tater tots, also known as baby taters or potato gems are grated potatoes formed into small cylinders and deep-fried, often served as a side dish.[1] "Tater" is a dialect form of the word potato.[5] The name "tater tot" is a registered trademark of the American frozen food company Ore-Ida, but is often used as a generic term.[6] Ore-Ida also markets a coin-shaped version called "Crispy Crowns".[7]

Tater Tots became successful enough that the brand name grew to be synonymous with the product, a delightful dilemma shared with other brands that pioneered a product category, among them Band-Aid, Kleenex, and Xerox.
