I ranked 6 brands of frozen tater tots. Only one had the flavor and texture I was looking for.

Tater tots have been a nostalgic favorite for many, from school cafeterias to late-night snacks in college. To identify the best frozen tater tots available in grocery stores, I compared brands including Sonic, Signature Select, Ore-Ida, Alexia Foods, McCain, and Cascadian Farm, cooking each according to package instructions. While Sonic and Ore-Ida fell short in flavor, Alexia Foods' crispy seasoned potato puffs were a delightful surprise, bursting with the tastes of roasted garlic and cracked black pepper. They emerged as the clear favorite, highlighting that not all tots are created equal. Overall, this taste test confirmed that if you're on the quest for satisfying, flavorful tater tots, Alexia Foods is your best bet!
