Pizza tots are essentially the pinnacle of all snack food. Here's how to make them.

Start by making a basic Tater Tot mixture out of uncooked hash browns, Italian seasoning, salt, garlic powder, and an egg.

Flatten out some of the potato mixture, then add a piece of pepperoni and a piece of mozzarella. Shape the whole thing into a tot.

Once all of your tots are formed, freeze them on a sheet tray. After they've firmed up in the freezer, they're ready to fry!

As IF you were going to wait.

Dip 'em in marinara for that last pizza touch.
