Can I please come??? This is the best idea ever!

How do you even do this?

Sounds great, but wondering about logistics. You probably can’t cook more than 2 bags of tater tots in oven at once. So hopefully you don’t need more than that?

THere's a place by us that does tater tots as nachos, so maybe - in addition to the other great ideas! - I'd consider refried beans, or black beans.

But I love the idea of diversity - so gravy, but also salsa, and also applesauce!

Your 12 year old sounds awesome.

Crab dip!

Such a fun, inexpensive idea. To make a meal, you could add shredded chicken and/or chili to put on top.

Unless they're going to bring their own deep fryer there is no point in getting a tater tot bar catered.

There is no way to transport mass amounts of tater tots and keep them crispy, and if they're using your oven to cook them in your house you're no paying like 10X the price to get someone to shake a bag of Ore-Ida onto a baking sheet.

Don't forget to tell your guests that is on the menu. Some kids won't like just tater tots fyi

By 12, kids should learn to be polite and eat what's served. Out of a bar like this I'm sure even the pickiest eater can find something.

I'm sure OP has other food. There is no need to tell guests what is on the menu. 12 year olds are old enough to politely decline if they don't like something.

Exactly, they are old enough to politely eat what's served or decline. Nobody needs to post a menu ahead of time or cater to picky eaters at age 12. Plus if they don't like it, I'm sure waiting to go home and eat or eating cake/whatever else is served will not kill them. Nobody's going to starve to death.

Agree. And I say this as a reformed picky eater and parent of picky eaters. I do not like people catering to my kid's picky habits. I'd like for them to branch out and try new things and if they are hungry and don't have other choices they might do that. The peer pressure kicks in a bit and they open their minds up a bit. So, I don't tell people in advance my kids are picky, I want them to have to to be exposed to things and give them a chance. It takes time, but it works slowly over time.
