About Ore-Ida
Ore-Ida makes frozen potato products and takes its name from the Oregon-Idaho border where it was founded in 1952. Its Tater Tots were invented as a way to use potato slivers that would otherwise have been discarded, and remain one of the largest frozen potato lines in the United States.
