Welcome back to another magical Nerd Food — my favorite column to write (aside from deep dives on old books). Today the Disney Parks Blog as released another Disney Parks recipe, this time the delicious totchos from Woody's Lunch Box inside Disney's Hollywood Studios. I've enjoyed this meal several times in the park, as I watch people enjoy the sights and sounds of Toy Story Land.

These totchos, which are nachos but with tater tots, can be customized to your heart's content. Don't like meat? Don't add it. Want sweet potato tots? That's cool too! This recipe is easy to follow, and everyone in your home can help make these. You can make them for special occasions or just because; they're delicious, they're magical, and they bring a little Disney magic into your home!
