It's About Time

This food item — essentially a "Tater Tot" made of sweet potato — has been available for a long time in restaurants, including some of Durham's finest establishments. I've been wondering how long it was going to take to make it to the retail level, and was considering putting out a "Missing Product" type alert for it. But now, I don't have to:

Alexia Sweet Potato Puffs

I check every grocery store I go in for this kind of product, even when no one had it. I finally found it at a Harris Teeter a few weeks ago (can't remember which one, but it was either the Willowdaile or TAFKASS store). Anyway, if you think you'd like a sweet 'tater tot or puff or whatever, give it a shot.  Like most of Alexia's stuff, it's a bit pricey, but maybe they'll catch on and other companies will start making them.

I'll have to try those. I like their sweet potato fries.

Some people _really_ like their tots (with bacon)

Nobody expects the Spanish Chorizo Tots!

I would kill a chorizo tater tot. Also, one can always cook the things in bacon grease. :)
