How to Make Tater Tot Potato Skins

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
Gently press one thawed tater tot into each cup of the prepared mini muffin tin. Make sure the tater tot fits snugly.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese over each tater tot.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly before carefully removing the tater tot skins from the muffin tin.
Serve immediately, garnished with sour cream, bacon bits, and chives.
