Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
- Cook bacon in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until crispy on both sides, about 10 minutes. Place on a paper towel-lined plate and set aside, keeping the bacon grease in the skillet.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add potato nuggets to the skillet. Season with garlic salt and toss until evenly coated. Cook until the outsides are crisp, about 10 minutes, turning carefully with a spatula once or twice. Remove the skillet from heat.
- Carefully remove 1/2 of the potato nuggets from the skillet and spread out remaining nuggets in a single layer. Top with 1/2 of the Cheddar cheese. Place remaining nuggets on top of the cheese and top with remaining cheese.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake until nuggets are warmed through and the cheese is melted and starts to turn golden brown, about 10 minutes.
- While the nuggets are baking, crumble the cooked bacon. Remove the skillet from the oven and top with crumbled bacon, sour cream, and green onions.

SWEET POTATOES WITH MUSTARD SAUCE
Perfumed with fresh thyme sprigs and served with a piquant mustard-sour cream dressing, these baked sweet potatoes hit all the right notes - sweet and velvet fleshed, pleasantly tangy, and herbal. You can stir the sauce together several hours or even the day before, and leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. Other herbs - rosemary, tarragon, sage - can fill in for thyme. (To make this recipe vegan, try substituting coconut yogurt or 1/4 cup olive oil for the sour cream.)

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Cut potatoes into 1-inch-thick slices. Reassemble slices so they look like intact potatoes. Insert a sprig of thyme between each of the slices. Wrap each potato in 2 layers of foil and place on a pie tin, roasting pan or directly on oven rack (seam side up).
- Bake potatoes until very tender, 60 to 75 minutes. Meanwhile, combine sour cream, mustard, thyme and garlic in a small bowl. Serve potatoes dolloped with mustard sauce.

Tips:
- For crispy tots, use a large skillet or griddle so that the tots have plenty of room to spread out and cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet or griddle, or the tots will steam instead of crisp up.
- Cook the tots over medium heat so that they have time to cook through without burning.
- Flip the tots halfway through cooking to ensure that they are evenly browned on all sides.
- Serve the tots immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
