Ingredients
Scale
- 48 frozen tater tots
- ½ cup cheddar cheese, freshly grated
- 8 slices of bacon, finely chopped and cooked until crispy
- 2 green onions, chopped
- Sour cream, to taste (for dipping)
Instructions
- Bake the Tater Tots:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Arrange the frozen tater tots on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake according to package instructions (approximately 28 minutes), flipping halfway through for even crispiness.
- Prepare the Skewers:
- Once the tater tots have cooled slightly, carefully thread 4–6 tater tots onto each wooden or metal skewer.
- Add the Toppings:
- Place the skewers on a parchment-lined baking sheet for easy cleanup.
- Sprinkle grated cheddar cheese evenly over the tater tots.
- Add the finely chopped bacon bits and half of the chopped green onions on top.
- Melt the Cheese:
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5–7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the remaining green onions for a fresh, vibrant finish.
- Serve warm with a side of sour cream for dipping.
Notes
- Ensure the tater tots are golden brown and crispy before adding toppings for the best texture.
- Soak wooden skewers in water if broiling to prevent burning.
- Swap cheddar cheese for pepper jack or mozzarella for a different flavor.
