Pondering Potatoes...Leftover Tater Tots

Dinner is truly a creation of what I have on hand tonight.  It started with the thought....I really need to eat up the tater tots in my fridge.

Now anyone who has had leftover tater tots knows that you have a deep need not to waste the tots but a realization that you desperately try to repress. They really suck after the first round in the oven and then cool in the fridge.  So they usually live in your fridge until you HAVE to throw them away.  I was determined to find a second life for my tots.

So I came up with this....Sausage and tot casserole with eggs.
It consists of a nice loose maple breakfast sausage, crumbled tater tots (mixed at the last minute in the pan with the sausage to absorb the sausage dripping goodness), scallions, two eggs (cooked in the sausage under a broiler after the sausage was pan fried) topped with fresh avocado, Rabusto cheese and Spicy Sweet Tabasco sauce.

And now the tots Tango!
