Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C, or gas mark 7).

Spread the tater tots out on the prepared sheet pan and sprinkle with Old Bay Seasoning (if using).
Bake for 20 minutes, remove from the oven, and flip the tater tots with a spatula.
Position the tater tots close together so they are touching to minimize the toppings falling through to the sheet pan.
Top the tater tots with ground beef, onion, tomatoes, relish, and cheese.

Drizzle tater tots with mustard, ketchup, or dressing, and sprinkle with chopped scallions (if using).
