If you want a smoky taste
In those tater tots instead of using gr. chiles.... use some dried Priscilla ancho. Charr them first over the fire with tongs ( be careful not to catch them on fire, they char fast use long tongs to char all over) cool n then ñ grind them up - sprinkle ground up charred peppers into casserole ñ mix well before baking!
