This week Domino’s joins the party with its Loaded Tots, which have three tasty over-the-top cheesy options.
Of course, I had to taste them for research purposes.
Tater tots hearken back to the ultimate spot for food nostalgia: the school cafeteria.

Kids everywhere would flip for these toasty little potato creations when they graced that divided tray.
I enlisted one other taster to take on the tough job of tasting and ranking the three flavors.
Here’s what we thought of them from really, really good to best.

A creamy Alfredo sauce completes the dish.
They smelled so good as I carried them into the house, I couldn’t wait to try them.
I wasn’t surprised that they were a virtual smorgasbord of cheese from the smells wafting out of them.
Meaghan Cameron
They looked amazing, too, with crispy cheese bits and hints of golden brown tots sticking out.
The taste:Cheese, cheese, and more cheese.
Amazingly all of these cheeses played well together and the Alfredo sauce offered a break between layers of cheese.

Something fresh like a sprinkling of green onions could help lighten this heavy dish.
I honestly didn’t expect this jot down of attention to detail from Domino’s.
The taste:If you like bacon, this is the dish for you.
Meaghan Cameron
Domino’s isn’t using meager little slices of bacon for this.
These are substantial chunks of bacon with some crispy bits and other rendered chunks that melted in our mouths.
The cheddar gave that bacon cheeseburger taste to the dish and the mozzarella held everything together.
The Parmesan sauce was the little pop of coolness that provided a nice finishing touch.
The look:Yes again, Domino’s really came through with the presentation.
The tots were thoughtfully placed, not tossed haphazardly, and that really set the stage for the toppings.
The same toasty bits from the other dishes peeked through but also some refreshing green from the peppers.
And, yes, these smelled amazing too.
The taste:I cannot say enough good things about this dish.
The thin strips of steak were a perfect size so there was no wrestling with chewy bits.
The peppers and onions added the fresh element that was missing in the other tots.
The cheese held everything together and the cheddar and mozzarella were the perfect combo.
Your guests will 100% love doing this, too.
Go on, splurge for game day, and conduct your own tasting.
