For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of your favorite dry rub to the pulled pork before loading the tater tot cups. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses! Pepper jack or a smoked gouda would add a delicious twist. If you don't have a muffin tin, you can bake the tater tots on a baking sheet, but they won't form the same cup shape.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Spray the cups of a 12-cup muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray.

Step
0 mins
Place 4 to 5 frozen potato nuggets into each muffin cup.
03
Step
10 mins
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
04
Step
15 mins
Remove muffin pan from the oven. Using a small glass (e.g., a small juice glass or shot glass), twist and press the tots downward in each muffin cup to create a potato cup. Return to the oven and bake until deep golden brown, about 15 more minutes.
05
Step
0 mins
Remove the pan from the oven and distribute pulled pork evenly between the cups. Add 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese to each potato cup, being careful to try and keep it on top of the pulled pork (not down the sides of the muffin cups).

Return to the oven and bake until the cheese has melted, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer the potato cups to a serving platter.
