Tater tots are known to some as the crispy, golden, universally beloved MVP of the fried food world. Just me? Over on the east side of Tucson, the popular burger joint at 1021 N. Wilmot Rd., Divine Bovine, is making them in-house.

Made to order, little taters are a little like fried mashed potato bites. They’re made from Pure Gold potatoes that get shredded in-house, parboiled, mixed with a little flour, water, cheese, green onion, cheddar cheese, and seasoning before taking shape and getting dropped into the fryer. 

A few of the dipping sauces are free — divine, bbq, herbed mayo, panang curry, horseradish cream, and honey balsamic mayo — but you can up your tater game even more with one of their “premium” options.

For just $2, impress your friends and dip your tots in their cheddar cheese sauce, green chili cheese sauce, or roasted beef gravy.

Pair it with one of Divine Bovine’s burgers and milkshake, and you’re in for a nap.

The restaurant is open daily from 11 a.m. – 8 p.m.

Divine Bovine is located at 1021 N. Wilmot Rd. For more information, including the full menu, visit divinebovineburgers.com.
