A Bag of Tato Dots is a sealed bag of frozen potato bites. The bag itself is opened rather than eaten. The Open Bag of Food recipe turns it into 3 portions of Tato Dots.
The bag weighs 1.0, while each portion inside weighs only 0.2. Opening the bag before a long trip saves weight. The Tato Dots spoil within days once they thaw, so a freezer is the best place to keep the bag. They are found in restaurant, grocery and home freezers. The Chef is the best occupation for cooked and prepared. It starts with the most Cooking skill. The Burger Flipper also starts with some Cooking skill.
Eating
Each portion of Tato Dots lowers hunger by 10 and lowers unhappiness by 10. A portion holds 203 calories, mostly from 36 grams of carbohydrates. A full bag of 3 lowers hunger by 30 and gives 609 calories in total.
Tato Dots match Fries figure for figure. Both lift the mood with every portion. They taste better hot, so they are best cooked and eaten straight away.
Cooking
Tato Dots cook in 20 minutes and burn after 40. An oven or a fire suits them best. They do badly in a microwave and come out less pleasant to eat.
Each portion can go into a Burger, adding 10 hunger, or a Sandwich, adding 5. The Cooking skill makes each ingredient go further in an evolved dish.
