Ingredients
- 32 oz frozen tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 6 slices bacon
- 3 stalks green onions
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the frozen tater tots evenly in a single layer.
Step 3
Bake the tater tots for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
Step 4
While the tater tots are baking, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then crumble into small pieces.
Step 5
Chop the green onions finely and set aside. Reserve some for garnish, if desired.
Step 6
Once the tater tots are cooked, transfer them to a large, oven-safe dish or skillet.
Step 7
Sprinkle the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper evenly over the tater tots.
Step 8
Top the tater tots with shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon.
Step 9
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped green onions.
Step 11
Serve immediately with sour cream on the side for dipping or drizzling. Enjoy your cheesy tater puffs hot!
