Main Ingredients

Dipping Sauce (Optional)

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures that the tater tots will cook evenly and come out crispy.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Arrange Tater Tots

    Spread the frozen tater tots evenly on a baking sheet. Make sure they are not touching each other to allow for crispiness.

  2. 3

    Season Tater Tots

    Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika evenly over the tater tots.

  3. 4

    Bake Tater Tots

    Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy. You can flip them halfway through for even cooking.

Serving

  1. 5

    Serve

    Remove the tater tots from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve with ketchup and ranch dressing on the side for dipping, if desired.
