Hi daddysgirl1934, First I would like to say that I think it's very nice that you are trying to find a recipe to fix something because your Mother-in-law to be wants you to fix it!!Yes. Thats the makings of a good relationship! and a good Daughter-in-law!Smile   I have never made them myself, but the recipe that "twixstery" posted is the one that I remember being on the Or-Ida tater-tot bag. That is most likely the orginal recipe. Lots of luck, and let us know which one you tried and how she liked it. Granna2
