Tater Tots wrapped in bacon!

I found this recipe from watching Diners Drive Ins and Dives.

Very simple to make!

Ingredients:

Bacon, get the good stuff and cut it down the middle.....
6 Jalapeno peppers
Tater Tots

After cutting the bacon in half, take one piece of bacon and at one end lay a tater tot. Then put a slice of Jalapeno pepper under the Tot. Roll it up and stick it with a tooth pick. Repeat this as many time as you need per person. Six per person should be plenty as a side dish.

Then simply drop them in a deep fryer, that is at 375 (being careful not to put in too many, it brings the oil temp down and makes the end product too greasy, I usually put in six at a time) and cook them until the bacon crisps up to where you like it! Dips are optional so experiment!

The thicker the Jalapeno slice the more heat!

I thought this was Elevatedone's thread.


He has a fixation on tater tots.

lol!!!

That I don't know! All I know is that I am making a batch for me tonight and I just thought I would share with some of my foodies on ATS!

Give Elevatedone a heads up!

It sounds pretty good.
Toss in some over easy eggs and i am hooked.

Dip those bad boys into a beer/corn batter before frying...you could probably stop time by doing so.

Or a double dip. Do them the OPs way, then refry them in the beer batter. The crunchness alone could cure blindness.

Or a triple dip. Do the above, then dip into melted Velveeta. Roll heavy in panko. Refry for a quick sec or two...you would solve the worlds cold fusion problems with one bite.

wonderful, thanks for the recipe.

Whats a tater tot?

Everything is good wrapped in bacon!

This sounds amazing. I will have to try it one day.
