Dipping Sauce

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure the tater tots cook evenly and become crispy.

  2. 2

    Season the Tater Tots

    In a large bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the frozen tater tots and toss until they are evenly coated in the seasoning mix.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Bake the Tater Tots

    Spread the seasoned tater tots in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through cooking.

Prepare Dipping Sauce

  1. 4

    Mix the Dipping Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine ketchup, mayonnaise, and hot sauce. Stir until well mixed. Adjust the hot sauce to your preferred spice level.

Serving

  1. 5

    Serve the Tots

    Remove the tater tots from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Serve hot with the dipping sauce on the side.
