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.

The food in the picture is sweet glutinous rice dumplings w/ black sesame 落湯糍(糯米糍). The word “糍” sounds similar to “錢”, so the dumplings represent money. Eating them will bring you lots of wealth! 

The dumplings are chewy & gooey like mochi. Coated in black sesame seeds. Right before eating, dip them in sugar. Perfect sweet treat for the new year!

We just can’t get enough of @somisomiicecream! T We just can’t get enough of @somisomiicecream! Their soft serve is creamy, yet not too sweet. Lots of choices too, like ube, matcha, black sesame etc. The taiyaki is crispy on the outside & filled w/ goodness, like Nutella, red bean & custard. My only wish is that they open a store in the San Gabriel Valley, so we don’t have to travel far every time!😆

2022 is coming to an end! It has been a much bette 2022 is coming to an end! It has been a much better year for me personally. We traveled a bit more (Denver, Monterey, Maine, & Boston) & ate lots of incredible food. I’m drooling just thinking about some of the food. Also, my parents flew in from HK. We finally got to see each other after 3 years. We spent time together & attended my sister’s wedding. And we all finally got covid. It’s looking like things are getting back to normal. I truly hope it is!

Galbi mandu (dumpling) from Chang Hwa Dang (CHD) a Galbi mandu (dumpling) from Chang Hwa Dang (CHD) are so damn GOOD! 🥟 Smokey, little sweet, meaty, & crispy skin. I could eat a few plates of those! We first tried the sampler, but was most impressed by the galbi ones. We like the pork too, but the jalapeño one was way too spicy for my taste. It actually has half of a jalapeño in it.🔥
