- Place 2-3 tots in each muffin cup.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and let cool slightly.
- Mold the tots into cups inside the tray. You can do this by pressing a small flat object into the tray and twisting to force the tots up the sides. Return to oven; bake for 15 more minutes.
- Add cheese to each potato cup. Bake for 2-3 minutes, until the cheese has melted. Transfer to a serving platter. Top with sour cream, bacon bits, and chives.

Notes
- Press the tots down firmly into each muffin cup to create a stable base that can hold the toppings. A small round tool, like the end of a kitchen utensil, my muddling tool works well for this.
- Mix things up by adding toppings like jalapeños, diced tomatoes, or even a drizzle of hot sauce to customize these bites to your taste.
- These tater tot cups are best enjoyed warm, straight from the oven, so the cheese is melty and the tots are nice and crispy.
