Tater Tot Skewers

It’s definitely odd to watch playoff basketball in August, but amazing at the same time! We have been missing out Toronto Raptors and it is so great to watch them play again.

To celebrate this event, I made my husband and I a special game day treat. These tater tot skewers are drizzled with homemade nacho cheese sauce, sour cream, tomatoes and green onion. They were gone in minutes.

Grab a bag of tater tots because these little gems dressed to the nines are worth gossiping about!
