Tater Tots

Cheese Sauce (optional)

Method

Preparing the Tater Tots

  1. 1

    Bake the Tater Tots

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the frozen tater tots in a single layer on a baking sheet. Drizzle with vegetable oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.

Making Cheese Sauce (optional)

  1. 2

    Prepare the Cheese Sauce

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour to create a roux, cooking for about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the milk, and cook until it thickens. Add the cheddar cheese and salt, stirring until the cheese is melted and smooth. Serve warm over the tater tots.
