Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tater Tots

    Preheat your oven according to the package instructions for the tater tots. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and bake until golden brown and crispy, usually about 25-30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Make the Cheese Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the cheddar cheese and heavy cream. Stir continuously until the cheese is fully melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    While the tater tots are baking, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Once cooled, crumble into pieces.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Totchos

    Once the tater tots are done, remove them from the oven and place them on a serving platter. Drizzle the cheese sauce generously over the tater tots, sprinkle the crumbled bacon on top, and dollop sour cream. Finally, scatter chopped green onions over the top for garnish.

  5. 5
