I like them both but I really have to be in the mood for fried. Tonight we
had some faux Tater Tots. I baked them rather than fried although it was
apparent from the dark color that they had been fried prior. I will not
cheap out on these things again. I paid something like $1.34 for these when
the real ones were $2.54. These didn't taste right and they didn't taste
very good. Nor did they get crisp like Tater Tots will, even when baked.
