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

    Prepare Baking Sheet

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

Cooking

  1. 3

    Arrange Tater Tots

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

  2. 4

    Season Tater Tots

    Sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly over the tater tots to enhance their flavor.

  3. 5

    Bake

    Bake the tater tots in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

Serving

  1. 6

    Add Optional Toppings

    If desired, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of the tater tots during the last 5 minutes of baking. Once removed from the oven, top with chopped green onions and a dollop of sour cream.

  2. 7

    Serve Hot

    Serve the tater tots hot as a delicious snack or side dish. Enjoy!
