Homefries/Tots Ingredients
Method
Preparation Directions
- 1
Bake the Tots
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the frozen tater tots on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.

Make the Cheese Sauce
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute until bubbly. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more milk to reach desired consistency.

Combine and Serve
Once the tater tots are done baking, remove them from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Pour the cheese sauce generously over the tots. Serve immediately and enjoy!
