Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare Tater Tots

    Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the frozen tater tots package. Spread the tater tots in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for the recommended time until crispy and golden.

  2. 2

    Cook Bacon

    While the tater tots are baking, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.

  3. 3

    Fry the Eggs

    In the same skillet, crack the eggs and cook sunny side up until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Assemble Empire Tots

    Once the tater tots are done baking, remove them from the oven and sprinkle the cheddar cheese over the top. Add crumbled bacon and chopped green onions. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to melt the cheese.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Top each serving of loaded tater tots with a sunny side up egg and drizzle with habanero ranch dressing. Enjoy your Empire Tots!
