Tater Tots
Toppings
Method
Preparation of Tater Tots
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will ensure that your tater tots become crispy.
Prepare Baking Sheet
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with vegetable oil.
Arrange Tater Tots
Spread the frozen tater tots evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded to allow for even cooking.
Drizzle with Oil
Drizzle the vegetable oil over the tater tots for added crispiness, tossing them lightly to coat.
Bake Tater Tots
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
Topping Assembly
Prepare Toppings
While the tater tots are baking, prepare your toppings. Crumble the cooked bacon, slice the green onions, and slice the jalapeños if using.
Add Cheese
Once the tater tots are crispy and golden, remove them from the oven and immediately sprinkle the shredded sharp cheddar cheese on top.
Melt Cheese
Return the baking sheet to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish Tater Tots
After removing from the oven, top the cheesy tater tots with the crumbled bacon, sliced green onions, and jalapeños (if using).
Serve with Sour Cream
Serve hot with a generous dollop of sour cream on the side for dipping.
