Cheese Stuffed Tater Tots Recipes

CHEESE-STUFFED TATER TOTS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Peel skin from baked and cooled potatoes and coarsely grate into a mixing bowl. Sprinkle salt, chives, garlic powder and potato starch over potatoes then toss gently to coat. Add shredded cheddar cheese then toss gently to incorporate.
• Press small amount of potato mixture together in your hand (if it falls apart, add more starch in 1 tsp increments until mixture holds its form). Cut string cheese in half lengthwise, then cut into ½"- ¾" long pieces.
• Place 1 heaping Tbsp of potato mixture into palm of hand and indent with thumb then place 1 piece of string cheese in center of potato mixture. Cover string cheese completely with potatoes (form a tot with the cheese in the center of the potato mixture). Continue to form tater tots, pressing firmly so they hold together. Repeat with all remaining filling and cheese.
• Line baking sheet with foil or parchment paper then coat with cooking spray. Evenly space tots on baking sheet then brush with oil and bake 12−15 minutes, turning once halfway through baking.
• Remove from oven, cool slightly then serve.

CHEESE-STUFFED TATER TOTS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Combine thawed hash browns, flour, salt, pepper, and eggs in a bowl.
• Take a piece of cheese and wrap a palmful of the mixture around it, shaping it into a tot (you may have to squeeze out some excess moisture to make it nice and tight).
• Fill a large, deep skillet halfway with oil and heat over medium. When the oil is hot, drop in some tots, turning them along the way until they're crispy and golden brown. Let cool a bit.
• Enjoy!

CHEESY BACON TATER TOTS®

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Cook bacon in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until crispy on both sides, about 10 minutes. Place on a paper towel-lined plate and set aside, keeping the bacon grease in the skillet.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add potato nuggets to the skillet. Season with garlic salt and toss until evenly coated. Cook until the outsides are crisp, about 10 minutes, turning carefully with a spatula once or twice. Remove the skillet from heat.
• Carefully remove 1/2 of the potato nuggets from the skillet and spread out remaining nuggets in a single layer. Top with 1/2 of the Cheddar cheese. Place remaining nuggets on top of the cheese and top with remaining cheese.
• Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake until nuggets are warmed through and the cheese is melted and starts to turn golden brown, about 10 minutes.
• While the nuggets are baking, crumble the cooked bacon. Remove the skillet from the oven and top with crumbled bacon, sour cream, and green onions.

CHEESE-STUFFED TATER TOTS

Steps:

• Cut the block of cheese into small bite size squares. Mix all the other ingredients in a bowl until properly combined. Put one square of cheese on the bowl and gather enough potatoes to cover it and make a tater tot. Repeat until all the cheese is used. Heat the oil and cook the tater tots until golden brown. Remove from pan and set aside on a plate with paper towels to absorb the oil.
