Tator Tot Bites

I love potatoes! I found this side dish for some sliders but it could also be an appetizer. If you want to make it extra fancy you could top the bites with creme fraiche and caviar. You definitely want to serve these warm and they need to be made in the moment, when I tried making the tator tot cups in advance they didn't get very crispy the second time when reheating. 

You can make these in a muffin pan and make some big hash brown cups but I prefer to make them bite size by using a mini muffin tray. 

Ingredients:
Olive oil spray
24 frozen tator tots
Sour cream
Bacon, cooked crispy and crumbled
Chives, finely minced

Directions:

1. Preheat an oven to 425. Spray the muffin tin with olive oil spray. 

2. Place one frozen tator tot into each mini muffin slot. Cook as is for 10 minutes. 

3. Use a shot glass and press into the tator tot to make a small cup. Spray with olive oil and put back into the oven for another 10-15 minutes or until the tator tot bites are crispy and golden brown. 

4. Fill the bites with your toppings of choice. I did a dab of sour cream, bacon bites, and topped them off with the chives. Serve warm!
