Nacho-Style Tater Tots

The New 7-Eleven Tots Take Bite-Sized Hash Browns to the Next Level

— March 9, 2018 — Lifestyle
With a growing number of consumers eating on the go, 7-Eleven has expanded its hot food range with the addition of nacho-style tater tots that the brand has dubbed '7-Eleven Tots.'

7-Eleven Tots are a decadent take on the bite-sized hash browns known as tater tots. Made with Idaho and Oregon potatoes, the convenience store version of the tots boasts a crispy and golden brown exterior and a soft and fluffy interior. In what the brand describes as "advantage over other tater tots," the dish can also be customized at the brand's signature condiment and toppings bar. This means that in addition to mustard and ketchup, customers can also douse their 7-Eleven Tots in chili sauce, melted cheese, Ranch dressing, pico de gallo, diced onions, sliced jalapeno peppers, and green relish pickles. The result is a nacho-style take on tater tots that is sure to curb your cravings.
