Pizza in any shape or form is always a fan favorite at our house. When we combine it with the other delicious food of tater tots, we have ourselves an appetizer no one will want to miss.

The best part about these pizza tater tots is that they come on skewer. We love anything that comes on a stick. Maybe that is why we have so much fun at the fair each Summer. 🙂

Tot Pizza Skewers

What I love most about these, is that they are so easy to make, that we even make them for dinner some nights and add a side salad! So good.

Okay, here’s my take on the appetizer version of tater tot casserole

Ingredients:

A bag of tater tots
1/2 cup pizza sauce
1/2 cup sliced pepperonis
1 cup mozzarella cheese
12-15 pre-soaked skewers

Instructions:

Start by soaking your skewers in water. I place mine on a small sheet pan filled with water and a mug holding them down under water. This will make sure your skewers will not burn when they are placed in the oven.

Next you will need to cooking your tots on a baking sheet. Typical time and heat is 350 degrees for 20 minutes, but would recommend following directions on your brand of tater tots. The key to this recipe, is to make sure your tater tots are fully cooked and on the crispy. If they are not crispy, they will fall apart when placed on the skewer.

Once, they are cooked, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Once you are able to handle them, skewer 6-7 tater tots onto each skewer and place back onto the sheet pan.

Spoon the pizza sauce onto each skewer, making sure you cover each of the tater tots. Then add a layer of cheese, a layer of pepperoni, and then another layer of cheese.

Into the oven for another 10 minutes at 350 degrees. Cut and serve

Additional Questions

Now that you have already started to make these delicious pizza appetizers, here are a few questions you might have.

How do I make my tater tots crisp?

There are a few ways to make tater tots crispier. Cooking the tater tots just a few minutes longer can make them crispy as well as spraying them with cooking spray.

How do I cook frozen Tater Tots?

I always recommend going off the direction on the container of tater tots, but in most cases in the oven at 450 degrees. Spread the tater tots evenly on a sheet pan and cook for 20-25 minutes. To ensure that both sides are golden, flip them once around 10 minutes.

Who makes the best frozen Tater Tots?

There are many brands that make frozen tater tots, but my go-to brand is Ore-Ida. They were the brand that invented the tater tot and coined the term. They know their tots!
