I must tell you right here at the start that I am not, nor have I ever been a big fan of Tater Tots...per se.  I like most potato dishes and have even been known to eat the things raw, but tater tots in general; well they just have never been that appealing to me.The exception to this is when they are presented as part of a casserole dish.  Between church suppers, family gatherings and trying to feed four very large and healthy grandsons on a regular basis, I most certainly have been exposed to my share of these casseroles.  Some of these concoctions have been great and I enjoyed every bite.  Some have been merely "fillers" to quite a hungry stomach and others have been pig fodder as far as I am concerned...alas, the pigs will each almost anything.  I will also tell you right up front that I did not find a "filler" or a "pig fodder" recipe in this entire book....amazing!Anyway, I ordered this little recipe book up and I can tell you that the entire book is an absolute delight.  I had no idea that so many wonderful dishes could be made from tots....good grief.  Almost all these recipes include elements that I love.  I mean how can I turn my nose up at bacon, asparagus, broccoli, turkey, chili cheese, fish sticks, ham and on and on and on?There are 42 recipes in this book with six desert recipes thrown in to boot.  All recipes are extremely easy to follow and the author has designed the book to interact with the index perfectly.  This saves a lot of time.  I order a lot of these e-book recipe books and it drives me up a wall if I have to flip through the entire book just to find one recipe...no problems with this one.The author uses a laid back mode of writing and is actually quite funny at times making the book a fun read as well as useful and informative. The author has included a very nice little section on some great tips for preparing casseroles which I found to be quite helpfulI have always done a lot of cooking in our home and now that I am retired I do even more.  For me the most difficult part of cooking is to figure out WHAT to cook!  This great little book will add much to my arsenal.  That being said, I am going to have my wife add this one to her Kindle also.Don BlankenshipThe Ozarks
