Ingredients
- 3–4 cups frozen tater tots
- Wooden skewers (soaked 20 minutes if grilling/broiling)
- Cooked bacon pieces
- Mini sausages or sliced hot dogs
- Cherry tomatoes
- Cubed bell peppers
- Cheddar or mozzarella cubes
- Ketchup
- Ranch dressing
- Cheese sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a tray with parchment paper.
- Bake tater tots for 10 minutes first to firm them up (makes skewering easier).
- Carefully thread tots onto skewers (about 4–6 tots per skewer). Add optional items between tots if desired.
- Place skewers back on the tray and bake another 10–15 minutes until extra crispy and golden.
- Serve hot with dips, or top with cheese sauce and loaded toppings.
Notes
- Pre-baking tots helps prevent breaking while skewering.
- Keep add-ins similar in size for even cooking.
- Cheese cubes may melt—place them between tots to help hold shape.
- Use thicker skewers for sturdier, party-friendly serving.
- Best served immediately while crisp.
