How to make loaded tater tots

1. Cook the tots according to the package directions.
2. After cooking, skewer 8 tater tots on to a long wooden kabob stick.
3. Lay the skewers side-by-side on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet. 
4. Cover with cheese and bacon bits.
5. Bake.
6. Drizzle with sour cream or ranch dressing.
7. Garnish with fresh cut chives.

1. I soak my wooden skewers in water for 2 hours before using them so they do not get too hot and break apart while cooking. Whenever I use wooden skewers, I soak them ahead of time.
2. Be sure to cook the tater tots and allow them to cool for 4-5 minutes before skewering them so they do not break apart. 
3. You can cook the tots plain but I like to toss them with some extra virgin olive oil and 1 TBS of dry ranch salad dressing to give them more flavor.
