tater
Folksy french fry
Tater is informal for potato, common in rural and Southern American speech: tater tots, mashed taters.
The clipped form appears in casual cooking contexts and comfort food marketing.
In baseball slang, a tater is a home run—the ball leaving the park like a potato being launched.
