Instructions
Prepare & Bake
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper. Scatter tater tots in one layer on the sheet tray.
- Bake the tater tots plain for 20 to 25 minutes, or according to the package recommendations. They should be golden brown and crunchy on the outside when done baking.
Finish
- Prepare the sauce while the tater tots bake by mixing together the mayo and chopped garlic. Set aside.
- Transfer the plain tots to a bowl OR toss directly on the sheet pan. Drizzle the cooked tater tots with truffle oil, parmesan and salt. Spread back into one layer and broil on high for 3 to 5 minutes to crisp the cheese.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately with garlic aioli.
