How to Make Mini Tater Tot Cheeseburgers – Step by Step
Step 1: Prepare the Tater Tots
Start by cooking the tater tots according to package instructions. To make the perfect crispy base for your Mini Tater Tot Cheeseburgers, make sure to bake or air fry them until golden brown. Set the cooked tater tots aside to cool slightly.

While the tater tots cook, season the beef patties with salt and pepper. Pan-fry them over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Place a small piece of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt slightly.
Step 3: Assemble the Tater Tot Cheeseburgers
With all ingredients ready, it’s time to assemble your Tater Tot Slider Bites:

Place a tater tot on the bottom.
Layer a lettuce leaf on top of the tater tot, followed by a slice of tomato.
