Ingredients You'll Need to make our Loaded Tator Tot Skewers

- 1 package (32 oz) frozen tater tots (keep them frozen until ready to cook)
- Seasoning salt (to taste)

How to Make Loaded Tater Tot Skewers
Follow these simple steps, and you’ll have a crowd-pleasing snack ready in no time!
Cook the Tater Tots
First up, cook the tater tots according to your package instructions. My bag offered all the cooking methods—oven, fryer, air fryer. I opted for the air fryer (12 minutes in a single layer was perfect), but feel free to use your preferred style! If you’re air frying, you might need to do a few batches to cook the whole bag evenly.
Once cooked, let the tots cool for about 10 minutes so they’re easy to handle.
Assemble the Tator Tot Skewers
Preheat your oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Then, thread three tater tots onto each skewer and place them on the baking sheets.
Repeat until all the tots are skewered. Trust me - this part is so fun!
Pro Tip 🧂 Before moving on, sprinkle those tots with seasoning salt. It’s the little touch that makes everything so much tastier.
Add the Cheesy, Bacon Goodness
Now for the toppings! Sprinkle a small amount of shredded cheddar cheese over each skewer, and then top with pieces of crispy, cooked bacon. Heaven, right?
Bake to Melty Perfection
Pop your loaded skewers into the oven and bake for 6–8 minutes, or until the cheese is melty and irresistible.
Add the Finishing Touches to your Tator Tot Skewers
If you’re feeling fancy, transfer the sour cream into a resealable sandwich bag before you start cooking (this way, it warms to room temp). Once the skewers are ready, snip the tip off the bag and drizzle sour cream over the tots. Finish them off with chopped chives for that extra touch of freshness.
Serve immediately and watch the smiles appear!
