Main Ingredients

Optional Dipping Sauce

Method

Cooking the Tater Tots

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures even cooking and crispiness.

  2. 2

    Prepare Baking Sheet

    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

  3. 3

    Arrange Tater Tots

    Spread the frozen tater tots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching each other.

  4. 4

    Season Tater Tots

    Drizzle the vegetable oil over the tater tots, then sprinkle salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika evenly over them.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through the cooking time.

Serving

  1. 6

    Prepare Dipping Sauce

    While the tater tots are baking, prepare your dipping sauces. Place ketchup and ranch dressing in small bowls for serving.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Once the tater tots are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauces.
