I bet it’s collecting dust with all your other one-purpose kitchen gadgets. Well it’s time to pull that puppy out because Tater Tot Waffles are changing it to a multi-purpose kitchen gadget today!

Help! When I took these out of the waffle iron, they fell apart into individual tater tots again! What did I do wrong? Thanks!
Mary make sure the waffle iron is well coated with butter or oil on both sides. Also it helps to loosen up all edges of the tatter tot waffle with a silicon spatula before lifting up the whole thing. Let me know if that makes a difference next time.
