Chicken casserole with tater tots

History and origin of chicken tater tot casserole

Chicken tater tot casserole is a very popular comforting dish in the United States, especially in regions where easy and nutritious meals for the whole family are enjoyed. Its origin dates back to American home cooking in the 1950s, when casseroles (or gratins) were a practical way to combine several ingredients in a single baked dish.

In Latin America, although the version with tater tots is less common, this recipe can be associated with different variants of chicken casseroles prepared in countries like Mexico, Colombia, and Argentina, where local ingredients and different types of side dishes are usually used. In some places, it is simply called "chicken casserole," and in others, it may take names like "chicken gratin" or "baked chicken with vegetables."

Tater tots, a type of grated and fried or baked potato croquette, are a side that has been gaining popularity in Latin America thanks to the influence of American cuisine and the convenience they offer for adding a crunchy and tasty texture to the dish.
