Ingredients
1 (32 oz) bag frozen tater tots
Seasonings of choice (e.g., garlic powder, onion powder, paprika)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Evenly arrange the tater tots on the baking sheet, spacing them a couple of inches apart.
Bake according to the package instructions until golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
Using a fork or potato masher, gently press down on each tater tot to flatten it into a disk.
Return the flattened tots to the oven and bake for an additional 5–10 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of crispiness.
Remove from the oven and season with your chosen seasonings while still warm.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider adding shredded cheese bits before the second baking step.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ranch or ketchup.
