Put six of the minis in a cup cake tin pan. Bake at 425 for about ten minutes. Smash them in the center with a small cup. Add salt and pepper. Bake about 15 more minutes. Add cheese. Bake long enough to melt the cheese. Top a dab of sour cream then add crumbled bacon and green onions. Delicious. And you can add any toppings you want. That is how I did it. But you have tons of options.From what I've heard, they are very hard to re-create them in the kitchen. Anyone who has come close has to use "IQF" hashbrowns. They are pretty much impossible without them. You want some kick-ass tots? Deep fry some, then cover them in nacho cheese, top with crumbled bacon, green onions, sour cream and some hot sauce. /drooooooooooool
