How to make Loaded Tater Tots with frozen tots with lots of toppings!! Great for side dish or a snack, or maybe even a full meal.
Updated 06/10/21
What do you put on top of tater tots?
Depends on your taste. But, here are some suggestions – sour cream, shredded cheese, bacon, chives, green onions, onions, tomatoes, avocados, guacamole, chili.
How do I make my tater tots crispy?
You could spray them with a cooking spray, either olive oil, coconut oil or avocado oil. Or, check out this tip I found – Layer your tots on a baking sheet and drizzle bacon grease over the tater tots. Bake for 15 minutes at 425°, take out a flip them, then bake another 10-15 minutes, or until you reach your crispiness.
Can you pan fry tater tots?
Yes! Pour oil in a skillet/frying pan to reach a depth of 1/4″. Heat the oil on medium high heat. Add your tots. Turn frequently until you reach your desired crispiness.

Loaded Tater Tots
Equipment
- 9 x 13 Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- 8 Oz Tater Tots, Frozen
- 8 Slices Bacon
- 1 Tsp Salt To taste
- 2 Green Onions
- 1 Cup Shredded Cheese Or cheese dip
- 2 Tbsp Sour Cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven according to tater tots instructions.
- Arrange tots on a foil lined/sprayed cookie sheet. Sprinkle with salt. Bake according to instructions. Mine took 25 minutes.
- Fry up the bacon while the tots are cooking. Drain on paper towels.
- Chop green onions. (Only one onion is shown here)
- After tots are done, place 1/2 of them on each plate. Cover each with 1/2 cup of cheese. **I let mine sit for a couple of minutes so the cheese will melt a tad.
- Add 1 tbsp of sour cream to each on top of the cheese.
- Crumble up 4 slices of bacon and sprinkle over the top of each.
- Add one chopped up green onion over the top of the bacon on each.
- If desired, you could add some meat, like shredded pork, chicken, etc..
