Ruby Tuesday's New Tater Totchos Put a Twist on a Classic Appetizer

— February 21, 2019 — Lifestyle
Just when you thought nachos couldn't possibly get any better, Ruby Tuesday has debuted its new Tater Totchos.

Ruby Tuesday's new Tater Totchos are an adult twist on a popular childhood treat. The tasty new appetizer consists of crispy tater tots topped with melted cheddar cheese, and nacho fixings such as diced tomatoes, scallions, bacon, queso, and sour cream. The dish was created for National Tater Tot day on February 2nd, but you can still enjoy the new appetizer at participating restaurants. And you'd better act fast because the restaurant claims, "you've never had tots like this..."

With a growing number of consumers looking for hybrid dishes that combine multiple favorite flavors, Ruby Tuesday's Tater Totchos give consumers a clever new way to enjoy an old dish.
