Crispy tater tot crust, dill pickle and melted cheese make up the crux of these Tater Tot Oven Fried Pickle Chips, are a snack made in heaven for the true pickle lover!
Prepare mini muffin pan with cooking spray or use silicone inserts. Pat pickles dry to remove as much moisture as possible.
Press one tater tot down into each mini muffin cup, smashing it to fill the bottom of the cavity. Use a paper towel to remove any excess moisture from the tater tots.
Top the smashed tater tots with a pinch or two of shredded cheese each.
Sprinkle a pinch or two of real bacon bits on top of cheese.
Add a pickle chip to each. Top with more shredded cheese to secure in place.
Bake for 15 minutes or until cheese is melted and golden.
Remove from oven and allow to sit for 5 minutes while they settle. Gently remove them from the pan and enjoy! Definitely dip them!
