Ingredients
Scale
- 32 frozen tater tots
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup scallions, finely sliced
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, diced
- 1/4 cup black olives, sliced
- 1 to 2 jalapeños, thinly sliced, optional
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, combine diced cherry tomatoes, sliced scallions, sliced black olives, and jalapeños with a pinch of salt and black pepper; set aside.
- Spread the frozen tater tots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and bake for 20 minutes until golden brown and extra crispy, turning once if desired.
- Remove the tots from the oven and let them cool for 1 to 2 minutes so they hold together when skewered.
- Thread 4 to 5 crispy tater tots onto each wooden skewer, spacing slightly, and sprinkle or tuck shredded cheddar cheese between and on top of the tots.
- Return the assembled skewers to the oven for 3 to 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove skewers from oven, drizzle with sour cream and scatter the reserved fresh topping mixture over the skewers.
- Arrange skewers on a platter and serve immediately while warm and gooey.
Notes
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 5 minutes before using to reduce the chance of burning.
- Bake on the top rack for maximum crispiness.
- Add fresh toppings just before serving to keep them bright and not soggy.
- For extra crunch, broil for 1 to 2 minutes at the end, watching carefully.
