How to make Tater Tots Hotdog Bites


Lil Smokies Tater Tot Bites are the ultimate party appetizer or afternoon snack—crispy, cheesy, and full of flavour. They're easy to make, fun to eat, and guaranteed to disappear fast! These would also be so great for a carnival theme, as a BBQ party appetizer or movie night party food. 


Servings: 12 

Prep time: 10 minutes 

Cook Time: 25 minutes  


You will need 

• 48 tater tots

• 12 Lil Smokies or similar

• 3 slices cheddar cheese

• 1-2 tbsp ketchup

• 1-2 tbsp mustard

• 12 cup muffin pan


Preheat the oven to 425 degrees, and grease a muffin pan. Cut the cheddar cheese slices into quarters. 


Add 4 tater tots to each cavity, then bake for 10 minutes. 


Remove from the oven, use a spoon to form the tater tots up the sides, forming a cup 


Add a quarter slice of cheese to the center of each tater tot cup, then top with a Lil Smokie. Then transfer the muffin pan back to the oven, and bake for 15 minutes. 


Remove the pan from the oven and let the cups rest for a few minutes to set. Then, gently run a small knife or fork around the edges to loosen and lift them out. 


Drizzle with ketchup and mustard and arrange on a plate or platter to serve.
