Ingredients

  • 1 lb frozen tater tots
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp season all salt
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400
  • Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil ( this is at your discretion, but it does make clean up easy). 
  • Spread the tater tots out across the baking sheet
  • Pour the oil and seasoning salt onto the rings and baking sheet
  • Using your hands, mix the oil and the seasoning and tots well
  • Spread the tots out as much as possible so that the hot oven air will circulate around them well.  
  • Bake at 400 for about 20 minutes (refer to your packaging for your particular brand)

Notes

  • Make certain to refer to your own package of frozen tater tots for time and temperature settings, this will differ with brands.
  • If you like your tater tots more crispy, allow to cook a little longer, if you prefer less crispy, take them out sooner.
  • It is important to mix the tots with the oil by hand as this helps coat everything evenly.  Be ready to wash your hands immediately afterward.
PRO TIP:  For slightly different flavor, exchange the season all salt for garlic powder, onion powder or parmesan cheese!
