Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake until nuggets are warmed through and the cheese is melted and starts to turn golden brown, about 10 minutes.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are best for tater tots, as they have a high starch content that makes them hold their shape when shredded and fried.
- Shred the potatoes finely: This will help them cook evenly and crispy.
- Season the potatoes well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to flavor the tater tots.
- Add cheese: Cheddar cheese is the classic choice for tater tots, but you can also use other types of cheese, such as mozzarella, Parmesan, or Gruyère.
- Cook the tater tots until they are golden brown and crispy: This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a delicious flavor.
- Serve the tater tots with your favorite dipping sauce: Ketchup, ranch dressing, or barbecue sauce are all popular choices.
