How To Make Domino’s Cheddar Bacon Loaded Tots

Scroll down for the full recipe card with exact measurements and printable instructions.

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Starting with a fully heated air fryer helps the tater tots cook evenly and get crispy on the outside.

Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer in the air fryer basket or tray. Cook for about 8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the tots are golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding so they crisp instead of steaming.

Sprinkled the cheese.

Sprinkle the hot tater tots evenly with shredded cheddar cheese and bacon bits. Adding the toppings while the tots are hot helps the cheese melt quickly and evenly.

Topped with bacon.

Return the loaded tots to the air fryer and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, just until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye on them so the cheese doesn’t overcook.

Remove the tots from the air fryer, drizzle with the desired amount of Alfredo sauce, and serve immediately while hot and crispy.

Chef Jenn’s 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.
