Cheesy tots will return to menus on December 7, as well. The side dish combines shredded potatoes and cheese into bite-sized tots, which are fried to a perfect golden brown exterior. The tots come and go from menus sporadically, and were last available to order in 2021, per the press release. The cheesy tater tots will be available for purchase in quantities of four or eight tots per package.
Fans online had strong reactions to the announcement. One social media user posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, “Burger King is bringing back cheesy tots. There is a god and they are answering my prayers.” Another user tweeted about the cheesy tots, saying “I really don’t know why they don’t just keep it on the menu cause it’s the only reason I even go there.” In fact, there’s even a dedicated Facebook page to bring back the cheesy tots with over three thousand members, so the cheesy side certainly seems to be a fan favorite.
There’s currently no set end date for the cheesy tots and melts run; the press release notes that they will be available while supplies last in participating restaurants, so it’s best to run, not walk, to score these menu items while you can.
