I love these loaded tots, and they’re so easy to make at home! I use my air fryer to get the tots nice and crispy, and then I can load them with as much cheese and bacon as I like. 

I either use chopped up pre-cooked bacon, or sometimes I use the cooked bacon bits – REAL bacon bits not the imitation flavored stuff. After that, this recipe comes together in a pinch!

How To Make Domino’s Cheddar Bacon Loaded Tots

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (220°C).
  2. Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer in the air fryer basket or tray and air fry for about 8 minutes, flipping halfway, or until they’re golden and crispy.
  3. Sprinkle the hot tots with shredded cheddar cheese and bacon bits and return to the air fryer for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  4. Drizzle with desired amount of Alfredo sauce and serve immediately.

Step-By-Step Process

Tried-and-True Tips

  • All air fryers cook differently; adjust the cooking time and temperature for your model to get golden-brown and crispy tots.
  • Don’t overcrowd the basket or air fryer tray; this ensures each tot gets crispy.
  • Sprinkle with some chopped green onions and a side of sour cream for dipping for even more flavor.
