grilling tater puffs

this is how it's done: get a bag of tater puffs. i cannot call them tots, because a certain massive corporation owns that name. however, i think tater puffs sound cooler anyhow. you get your puffs, you don't defrost them. you scatter them in a one of those aluminum grill pans, either with the holes for stir fry, or without. if your pan has no holes, make a few. put some wood chips on the coals, pre-soaked in water, so they get smokey and delicious. cook covered for a while (but with one of the vents open, or else it gets too smokey!), then uncover and stir. you don't want them to burn! so keep an eye on them. they will be close to done, then done very quickly.

share with your friends. actually, that part isn't even really optional. when people smell a grilled tater puff, they will eat them regardless of whether or not you invited them to. be warned.

(also! i did not make this up. it was all eric's doing. i don't want you thinking this was my great idea, eric is the genius.)

transfer then to a frying pan, much them up with a fork. add stuff, like chilis or green oinions. then add sour cream and scarf them.
