I often see Tater Tots used in, albeit not high class, American recepies but never seen them in the UK.

However I just spotted Hash Brown Bites in Sainsbury's "Potato bites from lightly seasoned shredded potato, pre-fried and frozen"
Is this the same thing?

Yes, they look pretty much like Tater Tots.

Morrisons also do something similar.

Are you planning a casserole?

A breakfast casserole? I did one a while ago, could revisit it.

The only way I knew these existed was from mentions on The Big Bang Theory , apart from being tater potato based ,not much idea what they actually were .
Suppose I could have googled it if I had to .

I did have a look but the results didn't match. Just thought someone on here could clarify.

Yeah they’re the same. Afaik tater tots is like a brand name.

A burger place we go to deep fries them. So good.

Quite a thing on DDD with Guy Fieri. Was often seen singing their virtues at different diners, Americans love 'em! I'll have to look out when I'm next in Sainsburys.
