Hey, Monica, I got a question. I don’t see any tater tots

tater tot=一种以土豆为原材料的油炸食品, 类似薯条吧, 形状不同, 如下图
Tater tots are pieces of deep-fried, grated potatoes served as a side dish. They are recognized by their compact cylindrical shape and crispy colored exterior.
“Tater” is an abbreviation of potato
“Tots” may have been derived from their diminutive size, or because they are often served to children.
Tot的意思是young kid, 比如TV programmes for tiny tots
In some regions, the term “tater” is dropped, and the snack is informally called “tots”.!
