Bacon-Wrapped Tater Tots

• 12 slices center-cut bacon, cut in half crosswise
• 24 frozen bite-sized potato nuggets (such as Tater Tots), partially defrosted
• 4 slices sharp Cheddar cheese, each cut into 6 small pieces
• 24 dashes hot pepper sauce (such as Frank's RedHot), or to taste
• 24 toothpicks

1. Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Lay each slice of bacon onto a work surface and place a potato nugget in the center of each bacon slice.
4. Cut a slit down the center of each potato nugget and place a Cheddar cheese piece into the slit.
5. Top each nugget with a dash of hot sauce.
6. Wrap bacon around each filled potato nugget and secure the bacon to the nugget with a toothpick.
7. Transfer the wrapped nuggets to the prepared baking sheet.
8. Bake in the preheated oven until nuggets are cooked through and bacon is crispy, 15 to 20 minutes.
