# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
48 tater tots, frozen
02 -
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, freshly grated
03 -
8 slices bacon, finely chopped
04 -
2 green onions, chopped
05 -
Sour cream, to taste (for serving)
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven according to the package instructions for the tater tots. Typically, this is around 425°F (220°C). Spread the frozen tater tots evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 28 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
02 -
Once baked, remove the tater tots from the oven and let them cool slightly so they're easy to handle. Thread 4 to 6 tater tots onto each skewer, arranging them neatly.
03 -
Arrange the skewered tater tots on a clean parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle each skewer generously with grated cheddar cheese, followed by finely chopped bacon bits. Top with half of the chopped green onions.
04 -
Return the skewers to the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
05 -
Remove the skewers from the oven and garnish with the remaining green onions for added freshness. Serve immediately with a dollop of sour cream on the side for dipping.
# Notes:
01 -
For extra crispy results, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet while cooking the tater tots.
02 -
Feel free to customize with other toppings like jalapeños, barbecue sauce, or shredded chicken for variety.
