1. Use Softened Tots

Slightly softened tots mold together much easier.

2. Press Firmly

Compact the tots tightly so the cones don’t fall apart.

3. Don’t Overfill

Too much filling can break the cones.

4. Add Cheese in Layers

Layering cheese inside and on top creates extra gooey texture.

5. Serve Fresh

These are best enjoyed hot and crispy right out of the oven.
