Method
Preparing the Tater Tots
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures that the tater tots will cook evenly and become crispy.
- 2
Prepare Baking Sheet
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with vegetable oil to prevent the tater tots from sticking.
- 3
Arrange Tater Tots
Spread the frozen tater tots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the vegetable oil over the tots and sprinkle with salt.
- 4
Bake
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Flip the tater tots halfway through for even cooking.
