Bacon and Cheese-Stuffed Tater Tots

 









Ingredients


2 cups frozen tater tots, thawed


4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled


½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)


1 tbsp chopped chives (optional)


1 egg, beaten


¼ cup almond flour (or regular flour)


½ tsp garlic powder


½ tsp onion powder


Salt & pepper to taste


Oil for frying or baking



Instructions


1. Mash the tots: In a bowl, mash the thawed tater tots until they form a dough-like consistency.



2. Mix in flavors: Add crumbled bacon, shredded cheese, chives, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.



3. Form tots: Take about a tablespoon of the mixture, roll it into a ball, and press slightly to shape into a tot.



4. Coat: Dip each tot into the beaten egg, then roll in almond flour for extra crispiness.



5. Cook:


Frying: Heat oil in a pan to 350°F (175°C) and fry the tots for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Drain on a paper towel.


Baking: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C), place tots on a parchment-lined tray, and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway.


Air frying: Set to 375°F (190°C) and air fry for 12-15 minutes, shaking halfway through.




6. Serve: Enjoy with sour cream, ranch, or your favorite dipping sauce!




Would you like a variation, maybe keto-friendly or extra crispy?
