Yield: 4 people
Ingredients
- 16 to 20 ounces tater tots

- sour cream
- blue cheese crumbles
- tiny diced celery
- sliced green onions

Equipment
Instructions
- Bake tater tots according to package, but add 5 minutes to the time, on a lightly greased baking sheet (or line with parchment paper). For example, when I use Ore-Ida tater tots, it instructs to cook for 28-32 minutes, but I go to 33-37 minutes. This ensures they're crispy!
- Make sauce in a large bowl by whisking together melted butter, hot sauce, and garlic powder. When tots are golden and crispy, remove from oven and add to bowl, tossing gently to coat. Return tots back to pan and bake for 7-9ish more minutes. You want to get them nice and crispy again.
- Remove from oven and put on serving tray. Drizzle with sour cream. Then top with blue cheese crumbles, celery, green onions, and bacon bits. Serve and enjoy!
