Step 1

Heat a regular or Belgian waffle iron and brush liberally with oil.

Step 2

Arrange tater tots in an even layer across entire surface of waffle iron; pile another handful or two of tots over if you’re using a Belgian waffle iron. Sprinkle with salt. Press down on lid to close (use lid lock if you have one) and cook waffle until golden brown, 8–12 minutes depending on your iron. Season with more salt, if needed.
