Bacon Cheesy Tots - While Burger King already delighted fans by bringing back its Cheesy Tots in October, now the brand is upping the ante with its new Bacon Cheesy To. You can bake or fry your tater tots. Both methods yield delicious snacks with minor differences in texture. When making this recipe, I wanted my tater tots with light and fluffy interior.

Instructions to make Kentucky Inspired Fried Taters with Cheese and Bacon:

1. Par-cook your taters. I like to put mine in a saucepan, cover with cold water and add the 2 Tbsps kosher salt. Bring to a boil and cook for ~10 mins. Remove taters, set aside to cool completely (at least 3 hours - can be done a few days in advance and chilled). Then cut in half lengthwise and slice into 1/2 inch “half moons”. Set aside.
2. Pour yourself a drink - you deserve it. You’re making dinner!!
3. In a large fry pan, cook diced bacon low and slow (well, actually medium low heat) to render out the fat (you’ll need ~ 3 Tbsps fat). Remove bacon from pan with a slotted spoon and add to a plate lined with paper towels.
4. Add to the bacon fat your sliced shallots or onion (and veggies if you so choose). Sauté on medium heat until tender. Remove to a bowl and set aside.
5. Take sip - I’m thirsty! 🍹🍹
6. Add 1 Tbsps butter to the fry pan and add your first layer of cooled tater-half-moons. Do NOT crowd the pan. Season lightly with salt, pepper and smoked paprika. Brown to your liking on one side, then flip and and brown lightly. Remove to a separate plate. Repeat with following layers, add more butter if needed. Keep going until the last layer of potatoes are in the fry pan and flipped.
7. Add all the fried taters and veggies back to the pan and cover with cheese. Turn heat down to low or medium-low (you know your stove) and cover with a lid for ~3-5 mins until cheese is melted. Or if you prefer brown and bubbly, put your OVEN-SAFE pan under the broiler uncovered for a few minutes (DO NOT LEAVE UNSUPERVISED - or have really good home/renters insurance)
8. Phew!!!! That was stressful! I need a drink.
9. Top your amazing taters and cheese with the cooked bacon. By this time you need a refill 🍸. Then plate and enjoy!

To achieve that we first boil In a large bowl, combine grated potatoes, cheese and flour and mix until well combined. Cook French fries as package directs. Place fries on a broiler-proof dish or platter. Sprinkle with cheese, onions, and bacon. This killer tater tot grilled cheese sandwiches cheese, bacon and jalapeño between two tater tot waffles.
