Tater Tot Salad

I've always loved tater tots as a kid and wondered what it would be like to reinvent the potato salad.  

There are a million potato salad recipes on the web but none of them use tater tots.  

I chose one of  the simplest and healthiest recipes and substituted in the tots.

Enjoy and please be honest about likes, dislikes and suggestions for improvement!

Step 1 Ingredients

1 28oz bag Oreida Extra Crispy Tater Tots (seasoned)
1/2 cup mayonnaise (olive oil based)
1 tablespoon parsley
Zest of half a lemon
Juice of half a lemon
Pinch of salt & pepper to taste

I am definitely going to try these, I love Tots! (Must be genuine Ore-Ida brand, nothing else comes close to their unique flavor.) If you cook them till they're very brown they should hold up long enough to eat it all.LOL Not sure about all that lemon; maybe I will stick with my regular recipe which is oniony and garlicky with spicy brown mustard, a little Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, and plenty of fresh pepper. With some of I8nite's Awesome Hot Pepper Medley on the side! And a nice rare steak. Mmmmmm.

I make something like this but like caitlinsdad said I use french fries, bottled salad dressing (ranch or bleu cheese) and crispy bacon. I call it bachlor tater salad... Maybe the better brands of tatertots hold up well, I'll have to give it a try, Im always open to a new twist....

Hmmm, taters tots are not the most robust when being tossed around in mayo. Maybe you could try with steak fries next time. Add bacon, peppers, mustard, chopped eggs too. Don't know why, but this makes me want to make a tater tot Canadian poutine.
