Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Bake the Tater Tots

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the frozen tater tots evenly on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and crispy, turning halfway through baking.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Toppings

    While the tater tots are baking, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from skillet, drain on paper towels, and crumble into small pieces. Chop the green onions, separating the green tops from the white parts.

Assembling Loaded Tots

  1. 3

    Combine the Toppings

    Once the tater tots are done, remove them from the oven and immediately sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the hot tater tots. Follow with the crumbled bacon and the white parts of the chopped green onions.

  2. 4

    Melt the Cheese

    Return the loaded tater tots to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  3. 5

    Serve

    Remove the loaded tots from the oven. Top with sour cream and the green tops of the chopped green onions. Serve hot and enjoy!
