Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes. Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are best for tater tots, as they have a high starch content that makes them fluffy and crispy.
  • Shred the potatoes finely. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming gummy.
  • Season the potatoes well. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good choices.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the tater tots. This will prevent them from sticking together and cooking evenly.
  • Use a non-stick pan or spray the pan with cooking spray. This will also help prevent the tater tots from sticking.
  • Cook the tater tots until they are golden brown and crispy. This usually takes about 10 minutes per side.
  • Serve the tater tots immediately. They are best when they are hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Cheddar tot casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover tater tots, and it can also be made ahead of time and reheated.
