Ingredients
Instructions
- Cook Tater Tots for 1 minute and 30 seconds.
- Place half a slice of Swiss cheese on each slice of boiled ham.

- Roll up three Tater Tots inside each ham and cheese slice with sour cream.

Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider using cheddar cheese instead of Swiss or adding diced jalapeños for a kick. You can use leftover holiday ham if you have it, which adds great flavor. To ensure even cooking, rotate the rolls halfway through microwaving. If you prefer a crunch, try baking the roll-ups in the oven instead of microwaving.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these Microwave Swiss Ham Roll-Ups as a fun appetizer or a quick snack. They pair wonderfully with a fresh salad or some crispy veggies for a balanced meal. For a heartier option, consider serving with a side of Hillbilly Chili for a satisfying combination.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover roll-ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in the microwave for about 1 minute or until warmed through, or bake in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes to maintain crispness.
