Tater tot appetizer

Mothertrucker — Mon, 12 Oct 2015 16:58:12 GMT

Just Like mini pigs in blankets..these are so easy, and they are the first to go..

wrap a tater tot in bacon..I slice it lengthwise and crosswise do it fits better..toothpick and bake... I dip in mayo flavored with sriracha but anything would be good..

also so good if you can find the sweet potato tots....

Sriracha is a garlic red pepper sauce...mainly Vietnamese and Thai....Heinz even makes a sriracha ketchup now!

Pigs in a blanket are the world's best appetizer, but your's sounds delish too. Thanks for posting.

Having read the post twice, I have to admit that I don't understand. Are you saying you take a little tator tot and cut it into four pieces? I'd end up making mush out of it.

@AuntG

I took it to mean the bacon was sliced into four, then wrapped around 4 Tater Tots. What I want to know, is how long to bake and what temp?

Yes, I cut the bacon lengthwise and crosswise, then wrap each tater tot

Also good with a small strip of cheese placed in the tot before you wrap and add BBQ sauce.

It's hard to get the cheese into a frozen tot! But sounds good!

You let them thaw slightly and then insert a little strip with most of it "hanging out" ... then wrap.

I did a quick search and found this recipe with baking times from The Chew: (Love the name they gave them!):

Tasty Trashy Taters

1/2 bag Tater Tots (thawed to room temperature)
1 8- ounce package Sharp Cheddar Cheese (cut in 1/4-inch squares)
Hot Sauce
1 16- ounce package Bacon (strips cut in half)
1/2 cup Brown Sugar

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with foil.
To assemble, cut a small hole in each tater tot and place cheese in opening. Dash with hot sauce and wrap in bacon. Secure with toothpick, then roll in brown sugar. Place on baking sheet and repeat with remaining taters.
Bake about 15 to 20 minutes, flipping tots halfway through so that bacon cooks evenly. The cheese may bubble out and burn, but you can trim or pull it off when you take them out to cool. Serve warm.
