Parmesan Truffle Tater Tots
Bet ya never thought you’d hear “truffle” and “tater tots” in the same sentence, did ya?
Well, I went there. hah
Remember my oven baked parmesan truffle fries? Well, I was having a serious hankering for them lately. I was being lazy did not want to go through the “trouble” of cutting & soaking the potatoes to make them.
{Enter Tater Tots}
Hello genius-ness:
Why did I not think of this sooner?!
Ya’ll, it doesn’t get easier than this! A bag of tater tots (baked extra crisp)… tossed with a drizzle or two of truffle oil, some grated parm, parsley, and salt. VOILA! Quantities aren’t critical (add each ingredient to your liking!).
These are tater tots… classed up a bit! 😉 I mean, who says you can’t mix a little classy with some homey goodness?!
LURVE. IT.
Parmesan Truffle Tater Tots
Yield: 2 servings
Prep Time: 5 minutes
A classed-up tater tot... mixing fancy with a classic! 😉
Ingredients:
2 cups frozen tater tots
2-3 teaspoons truffle oil (or more to taste)
1/4 cup freshly shredded parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons dried parsley
pinch of saltDirections:
Bake tater tots according to package instructions (NOTE: I typically cook mine longer than the bag says as I like a good crispy tater tot!).

I have truffle salt but no truffle oil and still haven’t used it. I’m intrigued though…

I can’t believe that I actually found this recipe. My hubby and I had these at an upscale bistro as a side to our burgers. I have been dying to make them. Thanks?
