- 1 bag frozen gluten-free tater tots (room temperature)
- 1 package of Wholly Guacamole
- 1 package of regular or thin sliced bacon
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon chives
Preheat oven to 375°
Make sure the tater tots are room temperature before you begin
Place Wholly Guacamole into a piping bag with a circle metal tip
Cut bacon into thirds and place brown sugar onto a plate
Start by placing the end of the cut piping bag 2/3 into a tater tot and fill until it starts to come out
Wrap the tater tot in a 1/3 slice of bacon then roll or sprinkle with brown sugar
Place seam side down onto a greased or silicone mat lined baking sheet
Repeat this process until you have used all of your guacamole, bacon or tater tots
Bake at 375° for 22-25 minutes
Once removed, top with chives
Serve with additional guacamole on the side or drizzle more with piping bag
What goes well with bacon-wrapped tots? These tater tot bombs make the perfect side dish to burgers, grilled chicken, gluten-free meatloaf, instant pot ribs, and pretty much anything hearty. I also recommend serving a side salad or vegetables with these tots for a healthy balance.
Why are my tater tots not crispy?Make sure that you're not using thick cut bacon as well as make sure your tots are cooled to room temperature before cooking. Freezer burn could also cause soggy tater tots so watch out for that too.
What dipping sauce goes well with tater tots?For these tots I like to use homemade ranch dressing, sriracha honey glaze, or another spicy glaze. The brown sugar in this recipe tastes great with a hint of spice.
Pro tip: Place your tater tots on a paper towel after they cooked to drain extra grease.
