Tater Tot Burger with Sriracha Sour Cream

 

Tater Tot Burgers with Sriracha Sour Cream

If I have a guilty-pleasure-trash-food-first-love-can’t-believe-I’m-admitting-this food, it’s tater tots. I own a deep fryer that has produced more tater tots than all other foods combined. I even created a Tater Tot Cone Holder for use at parties for my Tater Tot Bar with Accompanying Sauces.

We all have Ore-ida, the inventor of tater tots, to thank for the best of all bad foods. And although they make a fabulous version (it is the original after all) I tend to favor the Trader Tots from Trader Joe’s. Either way, turning them into The Best Veggie Patty Of All Times is a great idea. No meat eater on the planet will complain about this meatless burger.

My mom used to play golf with grand daughter of the guy who invented these! I used this few degree separation to justify any and all of my consumption. And since you basically know me, you can also. Ill allow it ;). I feel like I could eat these sans bun avec runny egg!

I too have an ongoing love affair with greasy spoon/diner food – ever since those late-night, early morning college days…

This burger makes me nostalgic, and happy, and extremely hungry!! 🙂

I was wondering if you have any solutions to making this without Sriracha sauce? My daughter won’t eat spicy foods and I can’t. I know substituting it for something else won’t have the same effect but the idea intrigued me enough to try it but I don’t know what would work best for our tastes. Is the Sriracha sauce just to make it spicy? Thanks for the great idea!

Reply

Jackie September 10, 2013 um 10:30 am

I would add 1/2 tsp garlic powder and 1/4 tsp smoked paprika to the sour cream instead of the Sriracha.

THIS IS SO GOOD! I noticed that the patties are fragile like crab cakes, but once cooked stay together pretty well. and SOOOO GOOOD

These are really good and really easy! I have several veggie burger fails under my belt, so I was skeptical, but these came out fantastic! My kids loved them as well. I’m going to try them with sweet potato tots next to see what happens 🙂

OMG! This sounds amazing! I ran a B&B for 7 years and one thing I did when serving Eggs Benedict, was to add a serving of Southern hash browns on the side with a little more Hollandaise Sauce on the potatoes. One commenter suggested adding a poached egg. Heck you could add the egg, Hollandaise and call it Tater Tot Benedict!!! Seriously, the potato patty recipe really looks amazing!! Looking forward to trying it.
