Bacon Tots Recipe

OK, so this isn't technically a tater tot recipe. However, it IS a recipe for bacon tots—which is arguably more exciting. “Tots” refers to the shape of the bacon and to how it’s cooked. Tater tots are hunks of deep-fried potatoes.

Quiche With Tater Tot Crust Recipe

This quiche starts out respectably, as most quiche do: eggs, mushrooms, leeks, Gruyère. But then the filling gets ladled into a crispy crust made of salty tots. After a quick trip in the oven, the end result is like the most well-blended riff on eggs and potatoes you’ve ever had. And what could be better than that?

This fun taste on a French Alps recipe is anything but boring. Let’s be very clear, this is a different beast than the original. Really, it's just an excuse for cheese and indulgence. And we're OK with that.

What are totchos? Totchos are the divine combination between cheese-drenched nachos and crispy tater tots. I feel like not much more needs to be said here, but for the sake of making you drool: These tots are loaded with Canadian bacon and doused in a creamy hollandaise.
