  2. Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and jalapeño and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
  3. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir the vegetable mixture into the cooked, crumbled tater tots.
  4. Divide the potato mixture evenly between the two ramekins, gently pressing it into an even layer. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the top.
