# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
48 frozen tater tots
02 -
8 strips bacon, finely diced
03 -
1/2 cup freshly shredded cheddar cheese
04 -
2 green onions, thinly sliced
05 -
Optional: Sour cream for serving
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to the temperature recommended on the tater tots package, usually around 425°F (220°C). Lay the frozen tots in a single layer on a baking sheet covered with parchment. Let them bake for about 28 minutes, turning them once to get both sides crispy and golden.
02 -
After baking, let the tater tots cool a bit so you can handle them easily. Gently slide 4–6 tater tots onto each skewer, keeping them spaced evenly.
03 -
Place the skewered tots back onto a fresh parchment-lined tray. Sprinkle them with shredded cheddar cheese first, then add the finely chopped bacon. Use half the sliced green onions and spread them across the skewers.
04 -
Pop the tray back into the oven for 5–7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling nicely.
05 -
Take the skewers out of the oven and sprinkle the rest of the green onions on top. Serve them warm with a bit of sour cream on the side as a dip, if you'd like.
# Notes:
01 -
Don't crowd the baking tray to keep the tater tots extra crispy.
02 -
Mix it up with toppings like jalapeños, chicken, or your favorite barbecue sauce.
