1 . Stage

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Lay each slice of bacon onto a work surface. Place a potato nugget in the center of each bacon slice. Cut a slit down the center of each potato nugget and place a piece of Cheddar cheese into the slit. Top each nugget with a dash of hot sauce. Wrap bacon around each nugget, secure with a toothpick, and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
