She's the aggressive mom making casseroles. Not only does it look good - but she's hilarious...and she's from Michigan! Here's the video that has gone SUPER viral:

Her name is Jessica Secrest and she lives in the Grand Rapids area - where's she cranking out content while raising a family. The tater tot video has over 12 million views...and counting (and that's just on TikTok) - go on twitter/X and search "She's the aggressive mom making casseroles." and you'll find a ton of videos (over 30 million views so far)

Adam Graham at the Detroit News wrote a great piece about her here:

Since we're talking about tater tots and fried potatoes - we decided to look up fried potato favorites by state:

1.  Waffle fries got 12 states.  (Florida, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Ohio, Tennessee, Utah, and West Virginia.)

2.  Cheese fries also got 12 states.  I guess shape doesn't matter as long as there's cheese on there.  (Alabama, California, Colorado, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nevada, North Carolina, South Carolina, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, and Texas.)

3.  Tater tots are next with seven states.  But should they even COUNT as "fries"?

(Alaska, Idaho, Maine, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming.)

4.  Shoestring fries, five states.

(New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington.)

5.  Sweet potato fries, four states.  And all of them are in the Northeast.

(Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, and Vermont.)

6.  Steak fries, also four states.

(Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, and Oregon.)

7.  Curly fries, three states.

(Arizona, Hawaii, and Wisconsin)

8.  Crinkle-cut fries got two states.  Kentucky and Michigan loves them.

9. And New Mexico stands apart with Chili Cheese fries.
