Tater Tots

Method

Preparation of Tater Tots

  1. 1

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) for crispy tater tots.

  2. 2

    Cook Tater Tots

    Spread the frozen tater tots on a baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle with vegetable oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.

Making BBQ Sauce

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 4

    Simmer Sauce

    Stir the mixture and bring it to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.

Assembling BBQ Tots

  1. 5

    Combine Tots and Sauce

    Once the tater tots are cooked and crispy, remove them from the oven and place them in a large serving dish. Pour the BBQ sauce over the tater tots and toss gently to coat.

  2. 6

    Add Toppings

    Top the BBQ tater tots with shredded cheddar cheese, green onions, and cooked bacon bits.
