Some recipes become second nature. You don’t need to look at a recipe for the ingredients, and you don’t even need to follow the directions. Sausage cheese balls, homemade biscuits, and salmon patties are all like that for me.
Here is another recipe that you will not need to look at again. It’s super simple and delicious! This is a great recipe to have in your hip pocket when you need something in a hurry.
These delicious little bites are great for any occasion, from bonfires to Thanksgiving and Christmas parties that are just around the corner. They have all of the great flavors of potato skins, but tater tots make this much easier! Yes, thawed tater tots make this wonderful treat super easy. Little ones love to help press the thawed tater tots into the greased muffin pan, and teens enjoy making them for friends. This is just the beginning; you will still be making these babies years from now!
