Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 bag (32 ounces/907 grams) frozen tater tots
- 1 pound (454 grams) breakfast sausage
Gravy and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Cooking and Garnish Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for greasing)
- Chopped fresh parsley
- Sliced green onions
Instructions
- Prepare crispy tater tots by spreading them in a single, even layer on a greased baking sheet, ensuring maximum crunchiness.
- Roast the tater tots in a preheated oven following package instructions until they achieve a golden-brown exterior and perfectly crisp texture.
- While tots are baking, heat a large skillet over medium flame and crumble breakfast sausage, cooking until it’s thoroughly browned and no pink remains.
- Dust the cooked sausage with flour, stirring continuously to create a roux that will thicken the gravy and eliminate any raw flour taste.
- Slowly stream milk into the sausage mixture, whisking steadily to prevent lumps and promote a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Simmer the gravy, stirring frequently, until it reaches a rich, velvety thickness that clings beautifully to the sausage.
- Enhance the gravy’s flavor profile by seasoning with a balanced blend of black pepper, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Transfer the golden, crisp tater tots into serving bowls, creating a hearty base for the luscious gravy.
- Ladle the warm, creamy sausage gravy generously over the tater tots, ensuring complete coverage.
- Elevate the dish’s visual appeal and taste by scattering freshly chopped parsley and thinly sliced green onions as a vibrant garnish.
- Serve immediately, capturing the gravy’s warmth and the tots’ irresistible crunch.
Notes
- Crisp tots perfectly by spreading them evenly on the baking sheet and avoiding overcrowding, ensuring maximum golden-brown crunchiness.
- Control gravy thickness by slowly adding milk and stirring constantly, preventing lumps and achieving a smooth, velvety texture.
- Customize heat levels by using mild or spicy breakfast sausage, allowing personalization for different taste preferences.
- Make it gluten-free by substituting regular flour with cornstarch or gluten-free flour blend, maintaining the gravy’s rich consistency.
