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

Tater tots hold a special place in many hearts, spanning from school lunches to midnight snacks. Recently, I set out to find the best frozen variety available on the market. Testing six grocery-store brands—Sonic, Signature Select, Ore-Ida, Alexia Foods, McCain, and Cascadian Farm—each was cooked according to package instructions to ensure a fair comparison. My findings? While Sonic and Ore-Ida were disappointingly bland, Alexia Foods' crispy seasoned potato puffs stood out for their delicious flavor and satisfying crunch. These tots are seasoned with roasted garlic, cracked black pepper, and more, capturing the essence of a true tater tot experience. For anyone craving that nostalgic crispy potato snack, Alexia is my top recommendation!
