Homemade Tater Tots: Made with freshly grated potatoes, seasonings, and minimal additives, giving them a natural potato flavor and a fluffier interior.
Frozen Tater Tots: Often contain preservatives, stabilizers, and extra starches to maintain shape and extend shelf life. While convenient, they can sometimes taste processed.
Homemade: Crispier on the outside and softer on the inside since they’re freshly fried or baked. The texture can be adjusted by tweaking ingredients and cooking methods.
Frozen: Generally crisp but can turn soggy if not cooked properly. Air fryers help, but some brands lack the crunch of a freshly fried homemade tot.
Homemade: Allows for creative seasoning—think garlic, smoked paprika, truffle oil, or even cheese mixed into the batter.
Homemade: Takes time to prep, shape, and cook, making it less convenient for a quick snack.
Frozen: Ready to bake or fry in minutes, making them the easy go-to choice for busy schedules.
For the best of both worlds, try air-frying frozen Tots or making a batch of homemade ones and freezing them for later!
