Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 bag frozen tater tots
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup sliced jalapeños
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This will ensure your tater tots cook evenly and become crispy.
- Spread the frozen tater tots in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded to achieve maximum crispiness.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the tater tots for about 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Halfway through the cooking time, give them a good toss to ensure even cooking.
- While the tater tots are baking, prepare your toppings. Dice the tomatoes, slice the jalapeños, and chop the green onions. Set these aside for later use.
- Once the tater tots are done baking, remove them from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top. Return the baking sheet to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- After the cheese has melted, take the baking sheet out of the oven. Carefully transfer the loaded tater tots to a serving platter or individual plates.
- Top the cheesy tater tots with the diced tomatoes, sliced jalapeños, and a generous dollop of sour cream.
- Finally, sprinkle the chopped green onions over the top for added flavor and color.
- Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your Loaded Tater Tots Nacho Style!
Tips
- • For maximum crispiness, spread tater tots in a single layer and avoid overcrowding the baking sheet • Use a rimmed baking sheet to catch any cheese drips and prevent oven mess • For extra heat, choose fresh jalapeños or add a dash of hot sauce • Customize your toppings - try adding crispy bacon bits, black beans, or diced avocado • Serve immediately while the cheese is still melted and tots are hot and crispy • For a vegetarian version, you can add additional vegetable toppings like corn or black olives • Use a high-quality shredded cheese blend for the most flavorful result
