Ingredients

  • 1 bag of tater tots
  • 8 slices of bacon chopped
  • 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon of ranch seasoning
  • Skewers
  • Green onions chopped (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Prepare Tater Tots: Arrange the tater tots in a single layer on a large baking sheet. For easy cleanup and to prevent sticking, consider lining the sheet with parchment paper.
  • Bake Tater Tots: Cook the tater tots according to the package instructions until they are deep golden brown, typically 20-30 minutes.
  • Cook Bacon: While the tater tots are baking, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Oven-baking is a convenient method, but stovetop works as well.
  • Assemble Skewers: Once the tater tots are done, allow them to cool slightly for 2-5 minutes. Thread 6-7 tater tots onto each skewer.
  • Season and Add Toppings: Place the assembled skewers back onto the baking sheet. Sprinkle ranch seasoning over the tater tots, followed by the crispy bacon pieces and grated cheddar cheese.
  • Melt Cheese: Return the baking sheet to the oven for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
  • Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and, if desired, sprinkle chopped green onions on top. Serve immediately, preferably with a side of sour cream ranch dip for dipping.
