Totchos, also known as Tater Tot Nachos, takes the deliciousness of Nachos, but rather than chips, uses Tater Tots! Then add gooey cheese, bacon, sour cream and whatever other great toppings you can dream up!
Who needs nachos, when you can have Loaded Totchos!
Loaded Totchos are my new favorite appetizer! Tater Tot Nachos take the “loaded potato” or deconstructed baked potato to the next level! This is the absolute BEST Totcho recipe (and it only uses ONE PAN!)!

A while back I was in Orlando and met up with some of my friends for dinner. We went to the newest restaurant at Universal Orlando City Walk, The Toothsome Chocolate Emporium and Savory Feast Kitchen!
This place was off the hook! Every dish and drink that came out was more impressive than the last. Not only was the food incredible, but the presentation was to die for – it was truly a food bloggers dream!
Their milkshakes were meals in themselves – they are like the new Freakshake craze (what’s a Freakshake – think of them like the better and more creative version of the milkshake), check out this round-up of amazing Freakshakes!)
But more importantly, I discovered Totchos! As soon as I saw them on the menu, I knew that this not only needed to be ordered STAT, but I needed to recreate them! Hence the birth of my BEST EVER TOTCHO recipe!
But, let me get back to the reason we are all here – the TOTCHOS! I have heard of totchos before, but I have never had them. Well, this may have been a good thing, because now I am totally and completely obsessed!!!
How to make Totchos (Tater Tot Nachos)
I am going to give you my version of the totchos, but similar to nachos, this is a very personal thing.
There are no rules when it comes to tater tot nachos, except, you need to have the tater tots. without the tater tots, you basically just have a pile of toppings, which isn’t so bad, except we are making Totchos – so you must have tater tots!
- Bake the tater tots according to the directions on the package
- After that, add whatever you want. You can add ground beef or chicken, tomatoes, avocado – you choose!
- Bake at 425 degrees for 2-5 minutes (until cheese is melted and bubbly)
- Serve and enjoy!
I decided to make mine with cheese, bacon, sour cream with a delicious kick of ranch dressing (ranch dressing makes everything better in my opinion)
