Ingredients
  

  • 1 (32-oz) bag frozen tater tots
  • 1 (8-oz) package cream cheese, thawed
  • 1/3 cup Buffalo sauce
  • 1 cup shredded white meat chicken
  • 1/2 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 (8-oz) container Sour cream, divided into 1/3 cup and remaining
  • 1/2 bunch scallions, thinly sliced

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Grease cups of a mini muffin pan and add 2-3 tots to each one. Bake until golden, about 20-22 minutes.
  • Make the Buffalo chicken dip (unless using store bought): Combine cream cheese, buffalo sauce and 1/3 cup sour cream, whipping with an electric mixer until combined. Fold in chicken and shredded cheese.
  • Once the tots are baked, use a shot glass or small cup to smash them down while they're still in the muffin pan. This creates the cup shape. Let them cool for about 10 minutes before removing from the pan.
  • Top each tot cup with a spoonful of Buffalo chicken dip, a small dollop of remaining sour cream and garnish with a few sliced scallions.
