Creating Loaded Tater Tot Skewers is as easy as 1-2-3! Follow these steps for a delicious appetizer everyone will love:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Bake Tater Tots: Spread the frozen tater tots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake according to package instructions until golden brown and crispy, usually about 20-25 minutes.
3. Prepare Skewers: While the tater tots are baking, prepare your skewers. If using wooden skewers, ensure they are soaked in water to prevent burning.
4. Assemble Skewers: Once the tater tots are ready, let them cool slightly. Then, thread 3-4 tater tots onto each skewer.
5. Add Toppings: After skewering the tater tots, sprinkle them generously with shredded cheddar cheese and bacon bits. Return the skewers to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes to melt the cheese.
6. Prepare to Serve: Once the cheese has melted, remove the skewers from the oven. Allow them to cool for a minute.
7. Garnish: Drizzle with ranch dressing, if desired, and sprinkle with chopped green onions for a fresh flavor.
8. Serving Platter: Place the skewers on a serving platter and let your guests dig in!
