Notes

WHAT OTHER WAYS CAN I USE MY TOTS?

Recently, my husband and I went to one of our favorite vegan restaurants, and they were serving "Totchos." Yes, it is just like it sounds like; tater tot nachos, so if that sounds good, swap out my thin sliced potatoes in my Vegan Guilt-Free Potato Nachos…A Game-Day Treat! Or, if you are a chili sauce fan like me, use the tots for the base, instead of french fries, like in my Skinny AF Loaded Chili Fries, and cover with chili and guacamole for chili tots.
