  • Add Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheeses over the tater tots.
  • Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with green onions and cilantro, if desired. Serve hot.
