➡️ Tips and Substitutions:
- Cooked and crumbled bacon or crumbled sausage my be substituted for the ham.
- You can use any brand of little potatoes that are similar to tater tots.
- Try using different types of cheese.
- Top with sour cream, guacamole or salsa, if you’d like.
✔️ Make ahead tips:
I think this is one of those recipes that is best to prepare and bake right away. The egg might soak into the tater tots if you try to make it ahead. But you can certainly prep everything ahead of time. Chop the ham. Grate the cheese. Beat the eggs.
