National Tater Tot Day

February 2, Friday

National Tater Tot Day in the United States is celebrated on February 2 and celebrates the popular American fried potato snack known as tater tots. Tater tots are small cylinders of shredded potatoes that are fried until golden and crispy. Invented in 1953 by Ore-Ida, tater tots quickly gained popularity and became one of the favorite potato snacks in the United States.

The name "tater" is a diminutive of "potato," and "tot" can refer to the small size of the snack. Tater tots were created as a way to use up leftover potatoes. They have become so popular that they are now sold frozen and served in restaurants, and are also an ingredient in many dishes, such as "tatar tot casserole."
