They were salty and had a weird texture. Every once in a while I see casserole recipes that include them, usually along with one or two cans of cream soup, mostly in books geared toward they type of cooking so popular a few decades ago. They just don't appeal to me in any way.
That looks revolting.
That was the idea.
When you post a pic here, you have to give it a title. If you put your cursor on this pic, you'll see my title.
Haha! Blech! I didn't know you could do that. I figured you thought it wasn't appealing looking either.

When I first got married, I would get cookbooks from the library to get some different ideas. One cookbook was "Cook Until Bubbly" or something like that and it focused on casseroles.
One casserole was a modified Minnesota Hot Dish, which I modified to use simmer sauces instead of soups.
The outcome was great; I still use it now.
HonnyBrown,
I don't know if it is or not. I've lived in KS all my life. I really don't know where I got the recipe as I've made it for years. It is not the original recipe though. I've changed it to suit my allergy to dairy.

Here's a better pic of the same dish:

MMA, I modified it also, to the point where I call it a Maryland Hot Dish: no soup, no Tater Tots, no ground beef. The only way that it is the same is the fact that it's in an 8x8 Pyrex!

I am happy to report that my Aldi's not only has the coins but also the full blown tater tots . . . it's a potato extravaganza!

mtc, that is good to know about Aldi's!
I woke up early this morning and thought about making a breakfast Tater Tot dish with salsa and eggs. By the time I finished the recipe in my head, I fell asleep again.
When I did get out of bed at normal time, hubby asked if I wanted breakfast. I had a banana.

When I started work at my current company, I was so excited to see Tater Tots in the cafeteria. I hadn't had a Tater Tot in decades. I got some as a side and remembered why I hadn't had them in decades.
I think they're probably better when you bake them at home, but the Tots in the cafeteria were fried and way too greasy for me. I haven't had them since.
