Have you had pizza tots? Combining two favorite foods, pizza and tater tots could be the next foodie recipe obsession that you have to taste.

Certain foods are just craveable. Pizza tots are the current foodie recipe obsession that has captivated the attention of this foodie. While a simple concept, the dish definitely makes people rethink combining two favorite foods.

Currently available at Green Eggs and Ham Café at Universal’s Islands of Adventure, the dish smothers crunchy tater tots with pepperoni, sausage and mozzarella cheese. Each bite offers a variety of flavors, textures and deliciousness. While the kids might have ordered this dish, the parents might steal the last bite.

Since the Green Eggs and Ham Café is only opened for a limited time, not everyone will get to taste these pizza tots at the theme park. But, why can’t anyone recreate this tater tot and pizza combination at home?

The idea is quite simple. Bake or fry some tater tots, add your favorite pizza toppings and you have pizza tots. The key is to keep the dish light on sauce (or no sauce) so that the tater tots don’t get too soggy. No one likes a soggy tot.

In many ways, pizza tots could solve the problem of pizza topping fighting. What family hasn’t had to compromise on pizza toppings. With this recipe, everyone could customize their own bowl of tots and everyone would be happy.

While the Green Eggs and Ham Café has several tater tot dishes on the menu, the concept seems to be popping up on many menus. Toothsome Chocolate Emporium has had their tatchos since the restaurant opened. It seems that tater tots can be combined with all type of flavors.

From pizza tots to just tater tots themselves, it brings back a little bit of childlike fun. Who didn’t grow up getting tater tots on school lunches or having them as a side with dinner. There is something fun about eating those little potato bites.

If you have a chance to visit Green Eggs and Ham Café, don’t miss the opportunity to taste some of the pizza tots and then recreate the recipe when you return home. Those foodie memories can bring smiles, just like a big plate of pizza tots.

Have you use tater tots to combine favorite flavors? What other dishes would work with this recipe concept?
