Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cheesy Ham and Tater Tot Cups.
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
Lightly coat 12 muffin tins (2 1/2-inch size) with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 3
Place 4 frozen potato nuggets in each muffin tin, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
Step 4
Bake the potato nuggets in the preheated oven for 12 minutes.
Step 5
Remove the muffin tin from the oven. Using the bottom of a 1/4-cup measuring cup, press the potatoes down into the bottom and slightly up the sides of each cup.
Step 6
Return the muffin tin to the oven and bake for an additional 12 minutes, or until the potato cups are golden and crispy.
Step 7
Evenly distribute the cubed ham among the potato cups. Bake for another 10 minutes, or until the ham is heated through and the cups are crisp.
Step 8
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese over each cup.
Step 9
Bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges are golden brown.
Step 10
Carefully remove the cups from the muffin tin and garnish with sliced green onions or chopped fresh chives before serving.
