Tater Tots
Dipping Sauce
Method
Tater Tots
- 1
Preheat and prepare
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with 1 teaspoon of the vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

Toss tots
Place the frozen tater tots in a large bowl. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss gently until evenly coated.

Arrange and bake
Spread the tots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each so they crisp on all sides. Bake on the center rack for 20–25 minutes, turning once halfway through (about at 10–12 minutes), until golden brown and crisp.

Finish
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the tots rest 1–2 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning with a pinch more salt if needed. Transfer tots to a serving plate.
Dipping Sauce

In a small bowl, combine the ketchup and optional honey. Stir until smooth. Taste and add more honey if a sweeter dip is desired. Serve in a small ramekin alongside the hot tots.
