Easy Loaded Tater Tots

January 23, 2020 By Lokness Leave a Comment

This Loaded Tater Tots is a great last-minute appetizer for any game day or brunch for any weekend! Baked or fried tater tots are topped with bacon, sausage, cheese, green onion & tabasco mayo.

Super Bowl is next weekend. Who’s going to watch? Bryan and I don’t watch too much football. But since it’s the Super Bowl and it’s going to be 49ers (Northern California team), we will probably tune in.

We’re more excited about the food for Super Bowl. This Loaded Tater Tots dish is inspired by a restaurant in Los Angeles, The Pan. We went there a couple times before moving away. We really like their loaded hash browns. So this is my version with tater tots.

With only just a few ingredients, these tots can be done with little preparation. First, cook the tater tots, I baked mine in oven. If you prefer, frying tots are much crispier. Meanwhile, cook the bacon and sausage until crispy and nicely browned. Then, add the tater tots to the skillet and toss together. Top with cheese, and green onion for some freshness. Last, but not least, the tabasco mayo! Spicy & tangy mayo is excellent over the tots. Very easy, right?

These tots are not only good for Super Bowl or game day, they can be served as breakfast as well. Make it even better with a fried egg! Good luck to your team on Super Bowl!

Author Lokness

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces frozen tater tots
  • 3 slices bacon (cut into ½-inch slices)
  • 4 fully cooked pork sausage links (sliced)
  • 1/3 cup cheddar jack cheese (shredded)
  • 2 green onion (thinly sliced)

Tabasco Mayo:

  • ¼ cup Japanese mayonnaise or regular mayonnaise
  • ½ teaspoon tabasco pepper sauce (about 30 drops)

Instructions

  • Preheat the fryer or oven according to package instruction for the tots. Cook the tots until crispy and golden brown.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Without adding any oil, add the bacon and cook until crispy. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Wipe the skillet fairly clean with paper towels. Add sausage and cook until nicely browned. Transfer to the same plate with the bacon. Wipe the skillet once again with paper towels.
  • Turn the heat down to medium-low, add the cooked tots into the skillet. Add the bacon & sausage. Gently toss everything together. Sprinkle the cheese all over. Top with green onion. Drizzle desired amount of mayo on top. Serve immediately.

Notes

  1. Tater tots can be both fried or baked. Fried tots are crispier, but if not, baked ones work too. I baked mine.
  2. I used fully cooked sausage, but feel free to switch to fresh sausages if you like. 
  3. Try to finish the tater tots and sausage at the same time, so everything stays warm.

Growing up, I looked forward to my mom’s mango p Growing up, I looked forward to my mom’s mango pudding every summer. That creamy & soft pudding is loaded w/ tons of fresh mangoes. My version is pretty much the same, but I switch out the mango-flavored gelatin mix for fresh mangoes. It tastes incredible & brings me back to my childhood right away! It was the perfect dessert when I was a kid, and it’s still the most satisfying dessert today! 🥭

Sometimes, something simple is the best. My go-to Sometimes, something simple is the best. My go-to is a cheeseburger w/ extra toasted bun & onion. Bryan likes his double-double w/ onion. The fries were perfectly crispy, and I like to dip them in the spread sauce. Please order me 2 fries next time!😂 How do you like your In-N-Out?
Ice cream time! This Vanilla Blueberry Thyme Swirl Ice cream time! This Vanilla Blueberry Thyme Swirl Ice Cream is creamy, little vanilla-y w/ bits of blueberries & a hint of thyme. That vibrant blueberry swirls also makes the prettiest purple color too! I made this ice cream using my blueberry thyme jam, so it’s very easy.🫐🍨

Spring time means berries. Let starts w/ Blueberry Spring time means berries. Let starts w/ Blueberry Thyme Jam! Sweet, lemony & earthy. A nice surprising combo, but both blueberry & thyme compliment each other really well. I once served this once w/ a slice of Basque cheesecake, & it was fantastic! The jam is good on all sort of things, like yogurt and charcuterie board. 🫐

When I think of comfort food, this Satay Beef Cell When I think of comfort food, this Satay Beef Cellophane Noodles in Clay Pot (沙嗲牛肉粉絲煲) definitely is up there on the top. One of my favorites to order in Hong Kong! It’s hearty & rich. That tender beef & noodles are coated w/ a savory & slightly sweet satay sauce. Little kick from the chili & the earthiness from the mushroom. Bold flavors! Please just give me a bowl of rice already! Btw, this takes only 30 mins to put together, which makes a great weeknight dish.

Maude (@mauderestaurant) has reopened & we’re ba Maude (@mauderestaurant) has reopened & we’re back! It closed down during the pandemic & eventually was selling sweet & savory pies for a while. Once we heard Maude was about to reopen, we made reservation. It’s a 9-course tasting menu w/ the focus on California cuisine this time. Everything was incredible. We chose to sit on the chef’s table & watched them plating & cooking. Precision & speed w/ lots of components. We had our many firsts, like cactus, caviar, & black truffle. Our favorites of the night were caviar w/ peas, abalone & bread w/ aged butter. We really love this place & look forward to going back soon!

❣️Always a multi-course tasting menu & changes often.
Am I dreaming? Hailing in Pasadena? The mix of hai Am I dreaming? Hailing in Pasadena? The mix of hail & rain probably lasted for a good 30-minute. I was very excited at first, then it got crazy. Hail was collecting everything & my patio started to flood. I took out a broom & removed some of the hail. That worked, the water started to move & subside eventually. So glad my apartment wasn’t flooded. Whew! I have seen hailing, but this is another level. The ground was covered in hail. Really incredible!
