instructions
    1

    Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).

    2

    In a pot of boiling water, add the potatoes and cook for about 15-20 minutes until tender. Drain and mash them.

    3

    In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with the shredded chicken, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, and 1 cup of cheddar cheese. Season with salt and pepper.

    4

    Form the mixture into patties (around 8-10) and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    5

    Drizzle olive oil over the patties and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

    6

    In a separate baking dish, layer the tater tots. Once the patties are done, place them on top of the tater tots, and sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top.

    7

    Bake the casserole for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

    8

    Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

How to be creative
  • Add some hot sauce to the chicken mixture for a spicy kick.
  • Incorporate vegetables like spinach or bell peppers into the chicken mixture for added nutrition.
  • Top the casserole with crispy bacon bits for extra flavor.
Important Tips
  • For juicier chicken patties, make sure not to overcook the chicken.
  • Let the mashed potatoes cool slightly before mixing them to help bind the ingredients better.
  • Use day-old bread for the breadcrumbs; it helps absorb moisture better.
