Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (32 ounce) frozen potato tots
- 1 can (10.5 ounce) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2/3 cup ranch dressing
- 1 packet ranch dressing mix
- 1/8 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 5 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 4 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Spread the frozen potato tots on a large baking sheet in an even layer and bake for about 35 minutes, until golden and crispy. Remove and set aside. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, ranch dressing, ranch dressing mix, cracked black pepper, and granulated garlic until smooth.

- Arrange the baked tater tots on top of the chicken layer in a single layer.
- Bake in the 375°F oven for 30–35 minutes, until the edges are bubbling and the tots are nicely browned.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup crumbled bacon over the top and garnish with sliced scallions. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
