Ingredients

12 servings

  • 1 (32 ounce) package frozen bite-size potato nuggets (such as Tater Tots®)
  • 4 slices bacon
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 cups whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper
  • 1 pinch nutmeg
  • 1.5 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, divided
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream, or to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Spread potato nuggets in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook bacon in the hot skillet, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon on a paper towel-lined plate, then chop coarsely and set aside.
  • Make sauce: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir shallot in hot butter until fragrant. Stir in flour and cook until light golden, about 2 minutes. Whisk in milk and sour cream; stir until smooth and thick, about 5 minutes. Season with black pepper and nutmeg. Stir in 1 cup Cheddar cheese until fully melted.
  • Transfer potato nuggets to a 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle bacon on top. Pour cheese sauce over nuggets. Cover with remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven just until cheese melts, about 7 minutes. Garnish with green onions and sour cream to serve.
