Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Baked Tater Tots
- For extra crispy tater tots, you can broil them for the last 2-3 minutes of baking time.
- Feel free to experiment with different vegetables! Zucchini, sweet potato, or even finely chopped bell peppers would be great additions.
- If your potato mixture seems too wet, add a little more cornstarch until it holds its shape easily.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet; ensure enough space between the tots for even cooking and crispiness.
