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:
-
Mash the Tots
- Place the thawed tater tots in a bowl and mash them with a fork or potato masher.
-
Mix the Filling
- Add shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, garlic powder, onion powder, and flour. Mix well.
-
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.
-
Coat the Tots
- Dip each tot into the beaten egg, then roll in panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch.
-
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.
-
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?
