Loaded Tots Recipe

Cook the Tater Tots

Preheat your oven according to the package instructions for the tater tots. Spread the frozen tater tots in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake until golden and crispy, usually about 25-30 minutes.

Prepare the Bacon

While the tater tots are baking, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Once cooked, remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into bite-sized pieces.

Chop the Scallions

Wash and thinly slice the scallions, separating the white parts from the green tops.

Melt the Fontina Cheese

In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Heat over medium heat until the cream is warm but not boiling. Gradually add the fontina cheese, stirring constantly until melted and smooth.

Combine the Ingredients

Once the cheese is melted, remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the crumbled bacon and the white parts of the scallions into the cheese mixture.

Assemble the Loaded Tots

Once the tater tots are done baking, remove them from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Drizzle the fontina fondue generously over the tater tots.

Garnish and Serve

Top the loaded tots with the remaining green parts of the scallions. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy!
