Preparation
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Arrange tater tots on a 11x17 inch (28x43 cm) nonstick baking sheet.
- Place strips of bacon on a separate baking sheet, and bake along with the tater tots.
- Bake the tater tots according to package directions, about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway.
- While the bacon and tater tots cook, prepare your buffalo mixture and cheese sauce.
- In a mixing bowl, season chicken lightly with a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the green onions and buffalo sauce. Mix well and keep warm.
- In a pot, combine cheddar cheese and cornstarch. Stir until cheese is well coated with the cornstarch. Set the saucepan set over medium heat, adding in evaporated milk and buffalo sauce.
- Bring sauce to simmer, whisking constantly until cheese has melted and sauce has thickened, about 5-8 minutes. Set aside and keep warm over very low heat. Stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
- Once crispy, remove bacon from oven. Place strips on top of a paper towel to strain excess fat. Chop strips into a rough dice. Set aside
- Remove tater tots from the oven once lightly browned on the bottom. Lightly season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- To assemble totchos, layer tater tots followed by the cheese sauce and buffalo chicken onto your serving platter.
- Garnish with blue cheese dressing, remaining buffalo sauce, bacon and remaining green onions.
- Enjoy!

I added two cups of milk because I wanted the cheese to be creamier! It was amazing!

These were ok. Not as good as I was expecting. The cheese sauce was really starchy tasting and “dried” rather quickly (as in didn’t stay smooth and creamy when sitting on the counter during game day). I’d personally probably just melt some velveta and skip the whole homemade cheese sauce.

This was delicious!! We failed to take not of the “for 8 servings” not and made the whole recipe to share between 2...Wayyyy too much for two people, this could feed a whole family! Buffalo sauce is only new here but I think it will become a staple in our house. I don’t have any tips other than that we deep fried the tots and they were deliciously crispy.
