Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (32 ounces) bag frozen tater tots
  • 12 ounces bacon (each slice cut in ½)
  • 16 ounces pickled jalapeno peppers (sliced)
  • 1 cup Colby-jack cheese
  • ½ cup ranch dressing
  • toothpicks

Instructions

  1. Slightly defrost the tater tots to allow the toothpicks to go through. Hold a jalapeno slice around a tater tot and then wrap a ½ slice of bacon around and secure it together with a toothpick. Repeat until all of the bacon is used up.
  2. Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees. Deep fry tater tots in batches for 3-4 minutes or until brown and crispy looking. Drain on paper towels. Repeat until all of the tater tots have been fried.
  3. Immediately sprinkle with cheddar cheese (you can microwave them a little so that the cheese melts better) and serve with ranch on the side.
