How to cook deliciously - Cheesy Bacon Tater Tots

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

2. Stage

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 bacon grease in the skillet.

3. Stage

Reduce the heat to medium and add potato nuggets to the skillet. Season with garlic salt and toss until evenly coated. Cook until outsides are crisp, about 10 minutes, turning carefully with a spatula once or twice. Remove the skillet from heat.

4. Stage

Carefully remove half 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 cheese and top with remaining cheese.

5. Stage

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake until nuggets are warmed through and cheese is melted and starts to turn golden brown, about 10 minutes.

6. Stage

While the nuggets are baking, crumble cooked bacon. Remove the skillet from the oven and top with crumbled bacon, sour cream, and green onions.
