Heinz Mayoracha

Spice up your tots with what is essentially a creamy, piquant aioli.

So go live your fancy dreams and finally buy that combo Heinz sauce you have been eyeing for months. This is your answer to what to dip tater tots in. Just do it. You deserve it, girl!

Garlic Aioli

I don’t care where you get it or who made it, garlic aioli is a superior tot topper. But if you are looking for a specific one, we did try a Lemon Garlic Aioli from Tabitha Brown’s Target collection and it was, in fact, glorious. As are all garlic aiolis. AIOLIS ARE THE BEST!!! (Yes, I’m aware aioli is just mayo—don’t yuck my yum.)

Pantai Sweetened Chili Sauce for Spring Roll

What? Sweet Chili sauce being delicious on something fried? Bet you didn’t see that coming! And even if you did, you may not have tried this absolutely bonkers combo yet and to that I say, immediately stop what you are doing (or get to a logical stopping point first) and go try this. Editor-in-chief Justine Sterling noted that Pantai Sweet Chili Sauce’s “sweetness and mild tang make it a crowd-pleaser,” plus it’s not too spicy if you aren’t a self-proclaimed spicelord like your cousin Bryan.

Troy and Gabriella, Martha and Snoop, cheese and potatoes—some things were just meant to make magic together. Ever put cheese on your tots? Ever put liquid cheese on your tots? Ever put liquid cheese with a hint of jalapeño on your tots? Well, you could try all of those things at once if you dip your tater tots in this queso from On the Border. My god, you guys, this stuff is incredible. Jordan loved how this “queso is so creamy and smooth,” and that the “fruitiness from the jalapeño really shines.” Wondering what to dip tater tots in? This. It’s This.

Ken’s Steak House Thousand Island (and Caramelized Onions and American Cheese)

If you’re from California, you know where I’m going with this. It’s In-N-Out Animal Style tots, baybeee! Mirroring what is perhaps one of the best fast food feats of all time, you can make yourself some Animal Tots, which, now that I read it, sounds like eating baby animals and I need you to know that I do not mean that at all. No, I mean a mountain of golden brown, crispy tots smothered in melted American cheese, drizzled with Ken’s Steak House Thousand Island (which Jordan called “perfect”), and then topped with a copious amount of caramelized onions. So, I guess one of the best dips for tater tots isn’t a dip at all—it’s a topping. Nay, a dream come true. Nay, a lifestyle. Now go make yourself some Animal Style tots.
