I like to think of these tater tot bites as the ultimate game day appetizer. They are such a fun twist on a classic that so many people love. Also, if you are not big on cooking and need something easy to throw together this is the recipe for you. It is more about assembling than standing over the stove and making something complicated. This recipe was a part of the 2021 superbowl series I made and has been a staple not only in my household but for so many of my followers, friends and family. The beauty of these bites is that they are super customizable. You can swap out the traditional tater tots for sweet potato tater tots to mix things up. The cheeses and seasonings you use can vary based on what you have in your fridges and households and will still turn out amazing every time. There is no going wrong when you combine cheese and potatoes. Another twist I sometimes like to add to these is by sectioning them out by flavors. For instance, I will add a barbeque seasoning to the tater tots and top it off with bacon bits and green onions and serve it with ranch while on another tray I do a masala mix of spices and top it off with green onions and tomatoes and serve it with both cilantro chutney and tamarind chutney. These tater tot bites are also great when reheated both in the air fryer and oven so you never have to worry about the leftovers not tasting good. They are also a great conversation starter with both children and adults because they are such a fun and interactive finger food for everyone. Lastly, they are a fairly cost effective appetizer if you are wanting to bring a big batch of an appetizer without breaking the bank. Buying the ingredients at stores like Costco or Sam's Club will save you a lot of money and allow you to cook these in large quantities. Lastly, they pair well with so many kinds of sauces. If you are looking to jazz up the recipe, I suggest serving it with either my buttermilk ranch recipe or with my chipotle and roasted jalapeno sauce for an extra kick! But it also tastes amazing with a classic dipping sauce like ketchup or barbeque sauce. I hope you love this recipe as much as I do and my DMs are always open for any tips you may want/need…happy cooking!
