Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces frozen tater tots
- 2 medium jalapeño peppers
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup crumbled cooked bacon
- 0.25 cup ranch dressing
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Spread the frozen tater tots evenly on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
While the tater tots are baking, finely dice the jalapeño peppers. If you prefer less heat, remove the seeds and membranes before dicing.
Once the tater tots are done, remove them from the oven and immediately sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top, distributing it evenly.
Sprinkle the diced jalapeños and crumbled bacon over the melted cheese-topped tater tots.
Return the baking sheet to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes, just until the cheese is fully melted and gooey.
Remove from the oven and drizzle ranch dressing over the top, or serve it on the side for dipping.
Serve hot and enjoy your Kickin' Jalapeño Tater Tots!
