Description
I had five pieces of iqf tilapia defrosted tonight, but no inspiration on how to prepare them. I happened to look in the freezer and see a bag of tater tots. "finger foods sounds good" i thought. So i tweaked a recipe from a cooking light cookbook into this recipe. My kids loved it. They ate them with ketchup while i prefered tartar sauce. We all also had tater tots and applesauce.
