Loaded Totchos (Tater Tot Nachos)

What do you get when you marry nachos with potato skins? Totchos! I've swapped the traditional tortilla chips for crispy tater tots, layered on all of the nacho fixins', and topped it all off with plenty of homemade guacamole and fresh salsa.

I'm originally from Minnesota, and if Minnesota is famous for one thing, it's hotdish. You might know it better as casserole, or something like that, but in Minnesota, it's hotdish. This is my mom's recipe, the same one that she used to make for me when I was little.

I first ate this hot dish, a Midwestern favorite, on a late fall evening in the humid kitchen of the cook and television star Molly Yeh, at her farmhouse in Minnesota. The casserole accompanied venison, lefse and talk of the sugar beet harvest outside. I thrilled to the cream-beefy, umami-strong flavors that sat beneath its golden, cobbled exterior, and I loved the way the potatoes soaked up the gravy that pooled below the venison. You could substitute other ground meats for the beef, and other frozen vegetables for the peas or corn, but the tots are mandatory, and I do love the addition of cheese at the end.

About this Recipe

Craving a fun, satisfying dish that brings together the best of crispy potato skins and loaded nachos? Get ready for Loaded Totchos (Tater Tot Nachos), a delightful mashup that's perfect for sharing and satisfying those comfort food cravings. This recipe takes your favorite crispy tater tots and piles them high with all the classic nacho fixings, making for an irresistible treat.

The genius of this dish lies in swapping out traditional tortilla chips for golden, crispy tater tots. This simple switch provides a wonderfully tender interior and a supremely crunchy exterior, creating a textural delight with every bite. You'll layer on savory seasoned ground beef or ground turkey, creamy black beans, and plenty of melty cheddar cheese, ensuring every tot is fully “loaded” with flavor.

What you can expect is a dish that’s utterly craveable and delivers on its promise of comfort. Imagine biting into a perfectly crisp tater tot, followed by the rich, savory taste of taco-seasoned meat, the earthy notes of black beans, and the gooey warmth of melted cheddar. The freshness of diced tomatoes and red onions cuts through the richness, while a generous dollop of homemade guacamole adds a cool, creamy finish that ties all the flavors together beautifully. It’s a hearty, flavorful experience that’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser.

Customizing your Totchos is part of the fun! While ground beef provides a classic richness, you can easily use ground turkey for a leaner option, as listed in the recipe. Feel free to experiment with your favorite cheese blends if you want to go beyond cheddar. For an extra kick, a dash of your favorite hot sauce or some sliced jalapeños would be fantastic additions to the fresh toppings.

These Loaded Totchos are ideal for game day gatherings, a casual Friday night dinner, or any occasion that calls for delicious, communal eating. Serve them straight from the pan, allowing everyone to dig in and enjoy the loaded goodness.
