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

Tater tots have been a staple comfort food, from school cafeterias to late-night snacks. To find the best frozen tater tots, I sampled six brands: Sonic, Signature Select, Ore-Ida, Alexia Foods, McCain, and Cascadian Farm. After following each package's cooking instructions for the plainest flavors available, it was clear that not all tots are created equal. Both Sonic and Ore-Ida's offerings proved to be underwhelming, lacking the flavor punch more seasoned options provide. In contrast, Alexia Foods' crispy seasoned potato puffs showcased a delightful blend of roasted garlic, cracked pepper, and a satisfying crunch that set them apart as the top choice. Cascadian Farm and Signature Select offered decent options but also failed to impress with flavor. For anyone looking to elevate their tater tot game, Alexia Foods is undoubtedly the brand to try!
