They’re far from just school cafeteria fare anymore tater tots have graduated. The golden potato mounds are now snacks, side dishes or even full-on entrees on menus all over D.C. area restaurants.

These are some of the most adored tots around — from the nacho variety known as totchos to restaurant-made versions to the good, old-fashioned fried kind.

Even though the Mt.
