What does tater mean?

"Tater" is a slang term for potato. It's a shortened and informal way of saying "potato".

You'll often hear it used in casual speech or in regional dialects, especially in parts of the US. For example:

* "I'm gonna make some tater salad for lunch."

* "Pass me a tater, please."

While "tater" is widely understood, it might be considered slightly less formal than using "potato" in more professional or written contexts.
