If you’re craving a comforting treat that combines all the best flavors—bacon, cheese, and potatoes—then this recipe is for you. Here’s how to make these mouthwatering tater tots!
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- Frozen Tater Tots (about 20-25 pieces): This is the base for your stuffed tater tots. Using frozen tots saves you time, but feel free to make them from scratch if you’re feeling adventurous!
- Bacon (4-5 strips): The crispy, smoky bacon will add that savory touch that pairs perfectly with the cheese and potatoes.
- Shredded Cheddar Cheese (1 cup): Choose a sharp cheddar for a bold flavor, but you can also mix in mozzarella or a cheese blend if you prefer.
- Sour Cream (optional for dipping): For a creamy, tangy contrast to the crispy tater tots.
- Chives or Green Onions (for garnish): To add a pop of color and freshness.
- Salt and Pepper (to taste): For seasoning.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Cook the Tater Tots
Start by cooking the frozen tater tots according to the package directions. You can bake them in the oven or deep-fry them, depending on your preference. For an extra crispy texture, deep frying is the way to go. However, baking them in the oven is a healthier option and still yields great results. Once cooked, set the tater tots aside and let them cool slightly.
2. Prepare the Bacon
While the tater tots are cooking, fry the bacon in a pan over medium heat until crispy. Once the bacon is cooked to your liking, remove it from the pan and let it drain on a paper towel to remove any excess grease. After it cools, crumble the bacon into small pieces—these will be stuffed inside the tater tots.
3. Prepare the Cheese
Grate the cheddar cheese (or whichever cheese you’ve chosen). You’ll need enough cheese to stuff into each tater tot, so don’t be shy. You want to ensure each tot is loaded with cheesy goodness!
