Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

In a large bowl, combine tater tots, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions.

Add eggs, salt, and pepper to the bowl and mix until well combined.

Spray the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Scoop the tater tot mixture onto the waffle iron, spreading it evenly.

Close the waffle iron and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crispy, about 8-10 minutes.

Carefully remove the waffles and keep warm in a low oven if needed.

Serve the waffles topped with sour cream, hot sauce, and bacon bits.

Garnish with chives, diced avocado, and chopped tomatoes.

For added heat, sprinkle with jalapeños before serving.
