Who can resist Tater Tots? This crispy potato product is the base for these Loaded Tater Tot Skewers. The loaded tater tot kabobs make a great grab-and-go snack that everyone can enjoy. Serve them up while watching a game, or movie, or even as lunch.
Loaded Tatot Tot Skewers are even great to serve as a side to grilled burgers and hot dogs. We enjoy them with Sloppy Joes or these Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches. The Tater Tot Kabobs would also be delicious with wings.

Tips, Tricks, and FAQs
- Try using Pepper Jack cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, Colby Jack, or your favorite blend in place of the cheddar cheese.
- If you prefer to fry up a few slices of crispy bacon to crumble over the tater tots, go for it.
- Other toppings you may enjoy: diced jalapenos, diced ham, and diced onion.
- Replace the bacon with cooked ground sausage.
- Dipping sauces like ranch dip or ranch dressing are great with this appetizer.
- Ketchup, BBQ sauce, and honey mustard are also yummy dipping sauces.
- I do not recommend making the Loaded Tater Tots ahead of time, as they are best eaten warm.
