It’s been a while since I’ve pulled out the waffle maker and tried something new. I had some leftover frozen tater tots and thought I’d try loaded waffle tots….I don’t know why, but I love the sound of waffle tots….makes me happy.
These turned out so crunchy and satisfying with the crispy bacon and melted cheese on the warm tater tots pressed into a delicious waffle, then topped with the cool tang of sour cream and chives. The only thing that I will do a little differently next time, is when making these in a Belgium waffle maker, there needs to be more tater tots on top to fill in the gaps. Other than that these were a hit.
Here’s what you need:
*frozen tater tots; I did not thaw mine
*1/4 cup of shredded cheese per waffle; I used a cheddar Colby jack blend
*2 slices of bacon per waffle, cooked crisp and crumbled
*sour cream, to taste
*dried or fresh chives, to taste
Heat waffle maker and spray with non stick spray. Line the tots on the waffle iron.
If you have a Belgium waffle maker like I used, I recommend placing more of the tots to fill in the gaps. I did not do this the first time. They came out really good, but not as solid as I wanted.
Close the lid and cook for about 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Carefully remove with a spatula and place on plates.
Sprinkle on the cheese, then add the bacon.
Top with sour cream and chives.
Enjoy!
