- Hi, I'm Jerry James Stone
and today's video is brought to you
by YellowBird Hot Sauce.
So, I'm gonna use their delicious sriracha
to make sriracha glazed tater tots
but not just sriracha glazed tater tots,
I'm actually gonna make them into nachos.
Yeah, so sriracha glazed tater tots nachos.
Or totchos if you wanna call them that.
So, let's get cookin'.
(upbeat music)
Okay, so to make this recipe
I'm gonna start off by making the glaze.
It's just a really simple glaze.
I have a little bit of honey that I've warmed up
in a saute pan
and I'm just gonna add in the YellowBird Sriracha hot sauce.
Just a couple tablespoons of that.
The reason I'm doing this honey sriracha glaze,
is I'm gonna bake my tater tots
and then I'm gonna toss them with the glaze
and then like, put them back in the oven
just to bake on that glaze a little bit.
So, I want something that's gonna stick to it,
so the honey will kinda help with that.
Also, the honey is gonna help kind of offset the vinegarness
you get in the hot sauce,
which sort of balances out for the nachos.
So, I'm just gonna go ahead, mix this all together.
So, we have our simple glaze.
Now, I'm gonna go ahead and bake the tater tots.
So, I have a sheet pan here
and I've lined it parchment paper
and I've spread the tater tots out in a single even layer.
That's really important when you're baking tater tots
or actually pretty much anything.
So, it's an even single layer
and I'm gonna bake them at 450 degrees for about 20 minutes,
just until they're nice and crispy.
Okay, so I have baked the tater tots.
Like I said, we bake them at 450 for about 20 minutes.
They have a nice golden brown hue to them,
they look delicious, they smell delicious.
So, now we're gonna transfer them to a mixing bowl
where I'm gonna mix in the glaze.
Now, you wanna be careful doing this
because now that they're baked and not frozen,
you don't wanna squish them, right?
You want them to keep their form.
They should be okay, you just wanna be a little gentle
when you're doing this part.
All right, just get all those tater tots
into the mixing bowl.
There we go.
Okay, so now we're gonna add the YellowBird sriracha glaze
to our tater tots.
I'm just gonna toss them a few times
just to get as much of the glaze spread around.
They don't have to be evenly coated.
The key here is to be gentle with the tots.
That's good enough.
Okay, so go ahead and bake on this glaze.
Okay, so I've lightly coated the tater tots with the glaze.
Now, I'm just gonna put them back on to the baking sheet,
this time without the parchment paper.
Hopefully you didn't turn that oven off.
You're just gonna let them bake again at 450
where it was set before,
but this time just for a couple minutes
just to kinda bake the glaze on.
Also, this time it's not as important
that they're in an even layer.
Just kinda pile them on
'cause after they bake with the glaze,
we're gonna top on the cheese sauce and everything else.
Okay, let's put these back in the oven
just for a few minutes.
Okay, so while our tater tots are baking,
let's go ahead and make our cheese sauce.
So, I'm gonna start off by melting some butter.
Once that's fully melted,
I'm gonna add in some minced garlic.
Just saute the garlic around in that pan.
It smells so good. (chuckles)
Okay, so the garlic's in there
and now I'm gonna add in some green chilies.
Just a can of diced green chilies.
Make sure that they're properly strained
before you add them in.
Saute all that, get everything mixed together,
the garlic and the butter and the green chilies.
Now, to add in some flour.
I like to sift my flour in
just to kinda get it evenly spread
throughout the pan when I'm making a cheese sauce.
So, I just kinda add in and sift it.
Helps break it up a little bit,
makes it easier to incorporate.
Okay, so the flour is completely incorporated
to the other ingredients
and now I'm gonna add in the milk.
Just go ahead and pour that in,
mix everything together,
and what I'm gonna do next is bring that to a low simmer.
So, the reason you wanna do this,
you wanna cook that flour so it doesn't taste doughy right,
so I'm just gonna bring that to a low simmer
and just over medium-high heat.
So, the sauce has been simmering.
We've cooked it for a couple minutes
and as I mentioned, the reason you wanna do that
is you need to cook that flour.
If you don't it's gonna make your sauce
taste kinda doughy tasting,
so cook that flour.
It's simmered, now we're gonna turn off the heat
and remove it from the heat
and mix in our cheese.
Now, I like to use the heat from the pan in this process,
but it can be a little tricky
because if you have too much heat in the sauce
while you're adding in the shredded cheese,
that sauce can break
and then you're gonna have these cheese fats
and cheese solids
and it's just gonna be kind of a hot mess.
So, I recommend if you're not too experienced
with making cheese sauces
to remove the pan from the heat and then add in the cheese,
just a handful at a time mix it in,
and just kinda keep incorporating it
until it's nice and smooth and delicious.
So, let's go ahead and do that.
I'm gonna add in cheese.
Gonna swirl it around a little bit.
Add in some more cheese.
There you go.
You can kinda see it coming together, right?
Okay, so our cheese sauce is made,
so now it's time for the tater tots.
They're perfectly glazed with that YellowBird sriracha glaze
that I made.
It's gonna be just amazing.
Okay, so now we're just gonna go ahead
and dress those tater tots.
So, add in cheese sauce.
I chopped up green chilies to make it a little chunky,
but can also make it really delicious.
Add in some sour cream.
Some Pico de Gallo.
And what's nachos without avocado, right?
Go ahead, give it a few slices of that on there.
Okay, so that's how you go ahead and make tater tot nachos.
Now, these are super tasty.
I love the sriracha from YellowBird.
It's for one, this is a organic sriracha sauce.
I also think it's a lot better than that other brand
that people use.
Just wanna point that out.
But this glaze is wonderful.
It makes the tater tots just like, kinda sweet and spicy.
If you don't even wanna make the totchos,
you could just make the glazed tater tots.
Those alone are pretty damn good.
So, check them out,
but definitely try this recipe,
let me know what you think about it.
If you like it, give me a thumbs up.
