Ingredients
- 1 package (32 ounces) frozen tater tots
- 8 slices bacon
- 1 cup Herdez Queso Blanco (or your favorite queso dip)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place parchment paper on each of the two baking pans.
- Spread the tots in single layer on one baking sheet. Bake them according to the package directions. Usually takes about 20 - 25 minutes, turning them halfway trhough. Once they come out of the oven, season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Arrange the bacon slices in a single layer on the other baking sheet. Bake at the same time as the potatoes. The bacon will take about 15 - 20 minutes and flip halfway through the time. Check at the 12 minute mark to make sure it's not already done. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before chopping.
- Slice green onions.
- Warm the cheese dip in the microwave or on the stovetop in a small saucepan. It takes only 2 - 3 minutes.
- Place the tots in a large serving bowl, drizzle the queso over them.
- Next, drizzle the ranch dressing, top with bacon pieces and green onions. Serve warm.
