    WHAT ARE TOTCHOS?

    Totchos is a funny word, and definitely not something that rolls off the tongue. For those looking to understand what exactly totchos are, then you should know they are tater tot nachos. It is a Superbowl favorite appetizer like nachos but with tater tots instead of chips.

    WHO INVENTED TOTCHOS?

    I sure wish it was me that had invented this delicious potato awesomeness.  It was in fact a gentleman by the name of Jim Parker out of Portland Oregon that is credited with bringing Totchos recipe mainstream.  I am so HAPPY he did!

    I love nachos, especially tater tot nachos.

    While I love the loaded tater tot nachos recipe, there are so many options for toppings. In order to make vegetarian totchos, simply replace the ground beef with beans. If you are looking for a Vegan Tater Tot Nacho recipe, eliminate the cheese and sour cream and load up on the grilled veggies and you have yourself a treat!

    Additional Questions

    Here are some of the questions you might have now that you have started making our loaded tater tot nachos.

    How do you make tater tots extra crispy?

    In order to make your tater tots extra crispy, you can of course cook them longer than what the package states. Or, if I am looking for them to be extra crispy tater tots, I will spray the top of the tater tots with cooking spray before I put them into the oven.

    How do you use air fryer for tater tots?

    Air frying tater tots is as simple as throwing them into the air fryer basket at 400 degrees. Spray cooking spray over the top and cook for 15 minutes. Flipping the tots every five minutes helps make sure all sides are crispy.

    Are frozen Tater Tots vegan?

    Generally, tater tots are vegan. It is important to check the package that you purchase as well as pay attention to the cooking spray you spray onto them.
