Ingredients

  • 1 Bag Frozen Tater Tots
  • Vegetable Oil for frying (if using this cooking method)
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream
  • 1/2 cup Bacon Crumbles a good store bought brand or homemade
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Chives finely chopped

Instructions

  • Prepare your Tater Tots according to package directions or using one of the methods below.

Deep Fry

  • Heat vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or deep-fryer to 375°F.
  • Working in small batches, carefully submerge the tater tots in the hot oil and fry for 3 - 4 minutes, or until they turn a deep, golden brown and become irresistibly crispy.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer the tots to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
  • Salt, to taste, and immediately proceed with the recipe’s topping assembly.

Bake

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F.
  • Spread the Tater Tots evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake 25 to 30 minutes - until they are golden and crispy or according to package directions.
  • Remove from oven.
  • Salt, to taste, and immediately proceed with the recipe’s topping assembly.

Assemble Tot Boss Loaded Tater Tots

  • Place 12 - 15 tots in each bowl or paper container.
  • Immediately sprinkle hot tots with shredded cheddar so the heat melts the cheese into every nook and cranny.
  • Scatter bacon crumbles evenly on top.
  • Dollop sour cream over the tots, letting it slowly blend into the melted cheese for a creamy contrast.
  • Generously sprinkle fresh chives over the ensemble to add a burst of color and a hint of freshness.
  • Serve loaded tater tots piping hot for the ultimate fair-inspired comfort food experience, just like at Tot Boss at the Minnesota State Fair. Enjoy every crunchy, cheesy, tangy bite!
