Bacon and Cheese-Stuffed Tater Tots

 










That sounds like the ultimate crispy, cheesy, and savory snack! Here’s a simple recipe to make Bacon and Cheese-Stuffed Tater Tots at home.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups frozen tater tots (thawed)
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 slices crispy bacon (crumbled)
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (optional, for binding)
  • 1 egg (lightly beaten)
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs (for extra crunch)
  • Oil for frying (or baking alternative)

Instructions:

  1. Mash the Tots

    • Place the thawed tater tots in a bowl and mash them with a fork or potato masher.
  2. Mix the Filling

    • Add shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, garlic powder, onion powder, and flour. Mix well.
  3. Form the Tots

    • Scoop about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a small cylinder or ball.
    • Repeat until all the mixture is used.
  4. Coat the Tots

    • Dip each tot into the beaten egg, then roll in panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch.
  5. Fry or Bake

    • Frying: Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) and fry the tots until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes per side). Drain on paper towels.
    • Baking: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C), place tots on a baking sheet, and bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  6. Serve Hot

    • Enjoy with dipping sauces like ranch, sour cream, or spicy mayo!

Would you try this with any extra ingredients, maybe jalapeños for heat?
