directions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 12-well muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. Place 5 tater tots in each well and bake for 20 minutes until tater tots are soft.
  • Remove from oven and use the bottom of a shot glass or your fingers to press the tater tots flat on the bottom and up the sides of each well. Bake until golden and crisp, about 15 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, stir to combine the sausage, Colby cheese, cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, roasted red bell peppers, mayonnaise, sour cream, ranch seasoning and chopped scallion whites. Spoon the mixture into the tater tot cups, then return to the oven and bake until cheese is melted, about 6-8 minutes.
  • Remove the cups from the muffin tin and top each with a sprinkle of scallion greens and pinch chili flakes.

Questions & Replies

  1. Where does the ranch dressing mix, mayonnaise, and sour cream come in?
     
  2. Looks delicious but I’d worry that after smashing the taters they would be very hard to pry out of the muffin tin, even after spraying with Pam. Have you ever tried this recipe using paper muffin cups?
