    In enviably it's a slow cooker recipe or a cheesy dip. Of course, the sweet and sour dipping sauces and all the different hot wing chicken wing recipes are a hit as well.

    Loaded Tater Tot Skewers

    What you need to Make Loaded Tater Tots

    Here is all you need for this delicious loaded tater tots recipe.

    This delicious Tater Tot Appetizer blends your favorite flavors onto an easy to carry stick!

    • Bag of Tater Tots
    • Bacon, chopped
    • Cheddar Cheese, grated
    • Ranch seasoning
    • Skewers
    • Green Onions (optional)

    How to make Loaded Tater Tot Skewers

    Preheated Oven to 425 degrees.

    Spread your tots with a single layer on a large baking sheet. If you want to line your cookie sheet with parchment paper, you absolutely can. This will ensure they do not stick to your sheet.

    Tater Tot Appetizer Recipes are really simple to make since you really just have to start with a base of tater tots!

    Cook your tater tots according to the directions until deep golden brown in color. Ours was in a 425-degree oven for 20-30 minutes.

    While the tater tots are cooking, I recommend cooking your bacon. We love crispy bacon cooked in the oven, but you certainly could use bacon bits for this recipe as well.

    If your family loves bacon as much as mine, thick cut bacon. The best part is that there is a piece of bacon in every bite!

    Once you pull the tater tots out of the oven, let them cool for approximately 2-5 minutes until you can skewer them onto the skewers. I suggest 6-7 per skewer. Aren't they so perfect as a Tater Tot Tailgate Recipe?

    To make Loaded Tater Tots, you'll want to put your cooked tater tots onto individual skewers.

    Once on the skewers and on the pan.

    Sprinkle ranch seasoning over each of the tater tots.

    Then, sprinkle the bacon and then the cheese over the top of the tater tots. You can never have too much extra bacon!

    Place into the oven for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and golden in color.

    Remove from oven and serve.

    This Ranch dip is perfect for serving with this Tater Tot Appetizer

    We love serving this Tater Tot Appetizer with a sour cream ranch dip.

    Simply add ranch seasoning to the sour cream and stir and it creates a ranch dressing dip.

    This Tater Tot Tailgate Recipe will be a huge hit!

    I'm telling you, your guests are going to go bonkers over these babies. I mean, there is BACON!

    Tater Tot Skewers a such a great party food.

    Tater Tot Questions

    Here are a few questions you might be thinking about before you get started on this:

    What do you put on top of tater tots?

    That is the beauty of tater tots. You do not need to put anything on them when putting them in the oven. They are pre-cooked and so simply pour from the bag into the sheet pan. Then what you put on top of them once they are out is up to you.

    How do you air Fry Ore Ida tater tots?

    Simply set your air fryer to 400 degrees and cook a full bag for 15 minutes. Then shake them up every five minutes.

    How do you make tater tots crispy?

    If you are looking to make extra crispy tots, I like to spray a little nonstick cooking spray on them before I put them in the oven. Makes them have a crispy exterior and then they hold onto the skewer better.

    Can you microwave tater tots?

    While you can absolutely microwave tater tots to warm them, I do not recommend microwaving them for this recipe. In the microwave, they will not get crispy. You will need crispy tater tots for them to stay on the skewer.

    How Far Ahead Can I Make Tater Tot Skewers

    Frozen tater tots are typically already cooked, and so when you are cooking them the first time, you are simply heating them up.

    If you are looking to save some time and do some of the work beforehand, I would recommend heating and skewering the tots up to a few hours before. Then load them up and melt the cheese right before serving.
