1
Cook the Tater Tots
Preheat your oven according to the package instructions for the frozen tater tots. Spread the tater tots in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake until golden and crispy, typically about 25-30 minutes.
2
Cook the Bacon
While the tater tots are baking, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place on a paper towel to drain excess grease. Once cooled, chop the bacon into small pieces.
3
Assemble the Loaded Tater Tots
Once the tater tots are done baking, remove them from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the hot tater tots. Then, sprinkle the chopped bacon over the cheese.
4
Final Bake
Return the loaded tater tots to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
5
Garnish and Serve
Remove the tater tots from the oven and garnish with chopped scallions, and add sour cream, salt, and black pepper to taste. Serve hot.
