Description

Tasty Loaded Tater Tot Appetizers – Crispy, cheesy, and oh-so-addictive—these loaded tater tot bites are the ultimate party snack.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups frozen tater tots
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup cooked and crumbled turkey bacon (or beef bacon)
  • ½ cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Arrange tater tots in a single layer and bake for 20–25 minutes until golden and crispy.
  3. Remove from oven, sprinkle evenly with shredded cheese and turkey bacon bits. Return to oven for 3–5 minutes until cheese melts.
  4. Transfer tots to a serving platter. Drizzle with sour cream and sprinkle green onions on top.
  5. Serve immediately with extra sour cream or ranch dressing for dipping!

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, spread tots in a single layer and avoid overcrowding.
  • Turkey bacon can be replaced with beef bacon or omitted for a non-bacon version.
  • Sour cream can be swapped with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
  • Best served immediately while hot to keep cheese melted.
  • Leftovers can be reheated in a 425°F oven for 5–7 minutes.
