Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 30 pieces tater tots
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 as needed nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
Place two tater tots into each compartment of the muffin tin. Use the back of a spoon or a small glass to press down the tater tots, forming a base and up-the-sides crust. Sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper for extra flavor.
Bake the pressed tater tots in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and immediately sprinkle a heaping tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese into each tater tot cup. Top with crumbled bacon.
Return the muffin tin to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly.
Allow the tater tot potato skins to cool in the pan for 2-3 minutes before carefully removing them using a small knife or spoon.
Top each potato skin with a small dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of sliced green onions before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy as is or with your favorite dipping sauce!
