Tips:
Crispier Tots: For extra crispiness, double-fry the tater tots. Fry them for 2 minutes, let them rest for 5 minutes, and fry again until golden.
Baking Option: For a healthier alternative, bake the tater tots at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Make Ahead: Assemble the tater tots and freeze them on a baking sheet. Once frozen, store them in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Fry or bake directly from frozen.
Cheese Options: Swap the mozzarella for pepper jack, gouda, or your favorite melty cheese.
These Bacon and Cheese-Stuffed Tater Tots are a guaranteed hit for any occasion. Crispy, cheesy, and bursting with flavor, you won’t be able to stop at just one!
