I found these cuties in the grocery store; Golden Crispy Crowns and no, they are not tater tots, they are their cousin, ha, ha! So, I purchased them and stored in my freezer for when the “nietos” come to visit, I'll cook it for them to make them happy, happy. Little did I know I was going to use some of them in a hurry meal, and it was super yummy, SMILE! I will use them again and again, you’ll see.
