Dinnertime can definitely get hectic sometimes, and I usually whip up something completely on the spot. And these loaded tater tot skewers might just be my new favorite! The kids also love having these as afternoon snacks, and honestly they’re too good to turn down!

Loaded Tater Tot Ingredients

All you will need for these loaded tater tot skewers are tater tots, real bacon bits, cheese, green onions, ranch dressing (for dipping), and wooden skewers. That’s it!

How to Make Loaded Tater Tots

To make the skewers, microwave the tater tots for 30 seconds to soften a bit. Then thread the tater tots on the skewers, and place the skewers on a baking pan with parchment paper. Sprinkle the skewers with cheese and bacon, then put it in the oven to bake at 425 degrees for 20-25 minutes. When they are finished cooking, sprinkle green onion on the skewers, and they are ready to be served! Use the ranch as a dip, and you’ll have the tastiest weeknight dinner side!
