Cheese potato bites also known as tater tots are crispy delightful and tasty snack with a crispy and cheesy vegetable and potato covering outside with a soft burst of melty cheese in the middle. It's perfect crowd pleaser party snack.
These days more often than not I have seen people reach out for readymade frozen snacks when they need something like this. But let me tell you upfront that these homemade cheese potato bites are so much better. And the best news is you can make them in advance and freeze it for later.
