Burger King Is Bringing Back Those Awesome Cheesy Tots

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Union chapter.

I have some big news. As the self-proclaimed world’s biggest tater tot person, this is the kind of information I’ve been waiting for. Potatoes are most definitely my favorite food (all types—I don’t discriminate). And Burger King is bringing back their Cheesy Tots, a side that combines my ultimate fave and cheese.

The reintroduction of the Cheesy Tots isn’t just a miracle though, it’s because of us, fans of all things potato and cheese. The requests on Twitter and Instagram for more Cheesy Tots in the world apparently got directly to Burger King President Alex Macedo, who decided to bring them back once again. So give yourselves a pat on the back ‘cause this is all because of you. 

The Perfect Combination of Gooey and Crispy

There is not a day that goes by that I don’t think about what something would be like with cheese in it. I’m a strong believer that everything can be improved with cheese and honestly, you know it’s true. These cheesy tots are bite-sized gems with breading on the outside and potato and American cheese on the inside. Does this sound like a dream to anyone else? It’s definitely not just mine. 

Bringing Back a Tradition

After being first introduced in 2013 and then brought back a couple of times since, these tots have proven to be an ideal side to keep around. I mean, what’s not to like? But, even though they’re back now, which should be cause for celebration, they’re only staying for a limited time. That means that it could be a few weeks or a few months. We really have no idea how long this dream of Cheesy Tots will last, so you need to get to your nearest Burger King ASAP. 

Did I Mention the Price?

Not only are these bite-sized pillows of cheesy potato goodness available now at Burger King, but they’re only $1.99 for a side of eight. That’s an unreal deal if you ask me. You absolutely have no excuse not to give these a try. 

Burger King followed your requests and brought back these Cheesy Tots, so if you know what’s good for you, you’ve gotta get your hands on some. 

Hi! I'm a senior, Psychology major at Union and I'm a firm believer that cheese and chocolate should be their own food groups. If I'm not writing articles for Spoon, I'm definitely stalking food instas or watching every show on the Food Network.
