  1. Smothered Tots-1

Ingredients

  • 6 slices bacon
  • 1 bag (2 pounds) frozen potato puffs (tater tots)
  • 1 cup (4 ounces) crumbled blue cheese
  • ½ cup (2 ounces) ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 celery stalk, diced
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons buffalo sauce

Preparation

  1. Place the air fryer basket onto the baking pan. Put the bacon slices into the basket and place into the oven in the upper position. Select Air Fry, and set the temperature at 400°F and time for 10 minutes. Press Start/Stop.
  2. Remove the bacon and allow to cool. Once cool enough to handle, roughly chop.
  3. While the bacon is cooling, cook the tots. Spread on the same air fryer basket set in the baking pan (no need to clean after the bacon) and put in the upper position of the oven. Select Air Fry and set the temperature at 425°F and the time to 10 minutes. Press Start/Stop. Once cooked, remove from the oven. Top with the bacon, blue cheese, and Monterey Jack. Put back into the oven. Select Broil at 450°F for 5 minutes to fully melt the cheese.
  4. Remove from the oven. Top with the celery and scallions, then drizzle with the buffalo sauce. Serve immediately.
