Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Large Skillet
- Spatula
Ingredients
Tater Tots
- 1 pound Tater Tots
Sausage Gravy Ingredients
- 1 pound Breakfast Sausage Ideal for this recipe
- 1/4 cup Flour
- 2 cups Milk
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Optional Topping
- 2-4 eggs Eggs optional, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven according to package instructions. Spread the tater tots on a baking sheet and bake until golden and crispy, typically around 20-25 minutes.
- In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Continue until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
- Once the sausage is cooked, sprinkle the flour over the top and mix well. Cook for about 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste. Gradually add in the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Continue cooking until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- If you want to add eggs for a protein-packed topping, cook them to your liking—fried or poached works beautifully.
- Layer crispy tater tots in a bowl, generously top with sausage gravy, and finish with a perfectly cooked egg, if you’re using one.
