Burger King - Cheesy Tots - Review

 Burger King has a limited time promotion of Cheesy Tots, which they currently sell as a side for $1.99.   It is small potato bits formed around a cheese product, coated in a batter and deep fried.

My guest said they were too "Cheesy" and needed a smaller amount of cheese as it overpowers the potato, but he is a tater tot purist and doesn't like anyone messing with the original tater tot form.  

It is crunchy on the outside and has hot potato bits on the inside with melted cheese type product; kind of like a Kraft American processed slice cheese taste.

I could see what he meant though and found the tots needed a sauce of some kinds to try to bring cheese and potatoes together and the cheese product was a little overpowering in places.

I got some packets of Mayo and used them and enjoyed them then.  They was also good with the Honey Mustard Dipping sauce, but it will cost extra to purchase unless you are buying Chicken Nuggets as well.

Anything deep fried of course is not going to be something good for you and should be eaten in moderation.  

While it  is something I might purchase again, my guest only took one bite and said it is not something he liked or would order again.
