In our ranking of store-bought tater tots, the Lamb Weston brand took the top spot for its taste and texture. Its tots are perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

The tots are subtly seasoned with salt, garlic powder, and onion powder, leaving ample room for customization, and can retain their shape without sticking to the pan while cooking.

Cooking half a bag of the tots takes about 20 minutes in the oven and 10 minutes in the air fryer. You can eat them solo or with sauce and use them as a base for various dishes.

Made of spuds sourced from Idaho, these tots are available at most grocery stores for about $5.20 per 28-ounce bag. Though pricey, their quality and accessibility are worth it.
