And you can really have fun with this recipe so if cajun seasoning isn’t really your jam, you can add other seasonings to taste. (Side note: The additions of bacon, sour cream and runny egg never killed anyone. Just saying.)

Ingredients

  • 1 32-ounce bag frozen tater tots, thawed
  • 1 tablespoon cajun seasoning
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

Instructions

  • Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the top and bottom of the waffle iron or coat with nonstick spray.
  • Working in batches, spread tater tots in an even layer into the waffle iron; season with cajun seasoning, salt and pepper, to taste. Close, pressing down firmly to flatten, and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 5-6 minutes, or until desired crispness is reached. Repeat with remaining tater tots, adding more nonstick spray as needed.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.
