Quick, easy and delicious: That’s THIS recipe! Potato Puffs, or Tater Tots (did you know Tater Tots, the title many call these yummy potatoes, is owned by Ore-Ida?!), are yummy on their own, but this recipe makes them a full meal!

If you want to make this gluten-free, you must make sure you are buying a gluten-free variety of tots. Everyday 365 by Whole Foods (what I used) among several other brands are gluten-free. Check out this article by Nima learn more!
