Instructions

Preheat the oven according to the tater tots package instructions. Arrange the tater tots on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake as directed until they’re golden and crispy.
While the tater tots are baking, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until it’s crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Once cooled, crumbled or chop the bacon into small pieces.
Once the tater tots are ready, sprinkle them evenly with the shredded cheddar cheese. Return them to the oven for a few minutes, just until the cheese is melted.
Remove the tater tots from the oven and sprinkle them with the crispy bacon and chopped green onions.
Dollop spoonfuls of sour cream on top of the tater tots, creating creamy pockets throughout.
Finish by sprinkling the chopped fresh parsley over the loaded tater tots.
Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Feel free to get creative with the toppings! Jalapeños, diced tomatoes, and even leftover mac and cheese make great additions. For a quicker option, you can cook the bacon in the oven alongside the tater tots until it’s crispy. Serve with a side salad for a complete meal and enjoy!
