Happy National Tater Tots Day.

All the best things about a hash brown patty in pop-in-your-mouth bite sized bundles. What’s not to love?!!

Now invite smooth and creamy Homemade Queso Dip to the party and you’ve got one happy family!

Queso Ingredients

Restaurant quality homemade white queso dip (Queso Blanco) is super easy to make at home. Just three main ingredients.

• white American cheese
• milk
• butter
• plus a dash of cumin and garlic powder
• and you’ll be dipping chips or better yet Tater Tots!

We like to serve them with diced fresh jalapeño and tomato and a sprinkle of cilantro on top.

As teenagers whenever we were allowed to have “a party” the number one requested snack was Tater Tots. It’s still a family favorite side dish at our house.

I found this article – The Tater Tot is American Ingenuity at its Finest, which tells the colorful story of how Golden TATER TOTS™ got their start back in the mid-1950’s.

It’s crazy to think that today Americans consume nearly 4 billion tots annually. That’s over 100 per person. Not gonna lie, I’m pulling my weight here :) especially when they’re dipped in queso dip!
