Which do you prefer; Mexi-Fries, Tater Gems or Tater Tots?

uhm, this may be biased since i havent tried mexifries or tater gems, but i guess tater tots-their pretty good, fries are better

Never had mexi-fries and i like gems and tots about the same. Have not had them for years so I must not like them much.

Tater Tots are the only ones I've had. I like them.

Maybe these are called something different in Australia.

gems are called crispy crowns on that website.
I looked up mexi-fries and they are potatoes thinly sliced and seanoed and baked on a baking pan, They are a mexican side dish. I guess you could season them to be any sort of side dish though

WHAT?

I haven't heard of _any_ of them! Am i missing out??

tater tots are shredded potatoes formed into a cylinder shape about 1-2 inches long and 1 inch thick and fried.
tater gems are the same as tater tots but they are flat and round.
mexi-fries are potatoes thinly sliced and seanoed and baked on a baking pan in a single layer, They are a mexican side dish. I guess you could season them to be any sort of side dish though

I've only heard of (and tried) Tater Tots, which are okay...

I've never heard of Tater Gems. I like Mexi-Fries!

Well, I'm a lover of spicy foods, so I'll choose Mexi-Fries.

I've had tater tots and tater gems. I'm assuming mexi-fries are similar to seasoned fries. I'm not big on any of them.

huh?....heh?....tater tots are ok, I REALLY like Checker's fries though...the old recipe...yumm!!!

I've never had any of them and have only heard of Tater Tots. What are they? Potato croquettes?

Ah, the first two sound a lot like rosti.

ick to all!

I do like tater-tots, but I haven't tried the other two. ...and, honestly, I don't have tater-tots very often (if I did, I probably wouldn't like them that much).

On a related matter... I hear that Morton's (famous for salt) has developed a new product: Hot Salt! ...ah!

I haven't tried or heard of any of them

Love cheese tater tots from Sonic--Oh so good!

Never heard of tater gems--are they good? I don't like mexi-fries but that is because of the spices--my stomach is too old for spice, I guess.

I have never heard of rosti

They are alright.

I think we have potato gems but I don't know about the rest. I don't eat deep fried foods.

you can bake them but I don't think it would be the same.

Yeah, I'm trying to cut carbs anyway.

You parboil potatoes, grate them, mix with grated cheese, form into "patties" and then bake them. Very tasty

Sort of like potatoe pancakes with cheese. Everything is always better with cheese.

Cheese is good. I made these just the other day - they were very good! I used brussel sprouts rather than spring greens.

I haven't tried any of these.

Never heard of 'em...

I can't tell the difference. I was curious if anyone else could.

Tater Tots by a long shot.

mexi nuggets are good

They all sound fried, which would make them all good (I've only heard of tate tots, but can take a pretty good guess at the other 2).

I like tater tots. I don't think I've had the others.

what are mexi fries? The only difference between gems and tots is the shape. but I understand mexi fries to be seasoned and tots and gems are not.

The only difference I know of is the names. Mexi-Fries are served at a lot of Mexican fast food restaurants. You get a little thing of salsa for dipping...The other two are different brand names of a frozen in a bag product. All three are similar to McDonalds hash browns except they are about the size and shape of marshmallows.

I know that tater tots are not usually seasoned from what I read about mexi-fry recipies they are usually flavored with mexican seasonings. I thought maybe you meant the flat type of tater tots when you said gems. did you see the link I provided above?

I wasn't familiar with Mexi-Fry recipes; I only knew of them from the Mexican fast food places.

I suspect that different frozen food companies in different areas probably use and reuse the same names for different things. I've seen the flat kind (roughly triangular) called simply hash browns.

I saw that you posted a link, but I didn't look at it. I will now.

Oh yeah, the Ore-Ida site. I checked that out when I was making the survey. I wanted to make sure that I got the spelling right...

I haven't tried all three...but I like my own home-made cut up potato french fries better than anything the market has to offer. I HATE stuff with preservatives.

At Taco Time, Mexi-Fries are merely seasoned Tater Tots.

I've never heard of any of these products.

I've never heard of Mexi-Fries and Tater Gems and I've never tried Tator Tots because I hear they're like hash browns and I don't like them.

Mmm... we don't get anything like that at all here!!!

Deep fryer tater tots!!

I've only had Tater Tots.
