Ingredients
1 (28–32 oz) bag frozen tater tots
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
⅓ cup pizza sauce (or marinara)
15–20 slices pepperoni
Optional: fresh basil or parsley for garnish
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange tater tots in a single layer in a 10–12 inch oven-safe skillet or round baking pan, covering the bottom and sides.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, until tater tots are crispy and golden. Remove from the oven and use the back of a spatula to gently press the tots down into a compact crust.
Spread pizza sauce evenly over the tater tot crust. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top, then arrange pepperoni slices over the cheese.
Return to the oven and bake for 8–10 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired, slice, and serve hot.
Notes
For a vegetarian version, swap pepperoni for your favorite veggie toppings like bell peppers, mushrooms, or olives.
For an extra crispy crust, add 5 minutes to the first bake before pressing down the tots.
Sweet potato tots can be used for a slightly sweeter flavor.
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven at 375°F for best texture.
