FAQ

Can I use fresh potatoes instead of tater tots?
While tater tots provide a crispy texture, you can substitute them with thinly sliced or diced potatoes. Just make sure to bake them long enough to get crispy, or par-cook the potatoes before layering them in the casserole.

Can I make this casserole ahead of time?
Yes! You can assemble the casserole ahead of time and refrigerate it until ready to bake. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if it’s chilled.
