Ingredients

• 1 package (10 oz) frozen spinach, thawed and drained
• 1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 package (32 oz) frozen tater tots
• Additional grated parmesan for garnish
• Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the spinach, artichoke hearts, sour cream, mayonnaise, mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.
3. Spread the spinach artichoke mixture evenly in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
4. Arrange the tater tots in a single layer over the top of the spinach artichoke mixture.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.
6. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with additional grated parmesan. Allow the casserole to cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
7. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.

Helpful Tips

• Make it ahead: Prepare the casserole up to the point of adding tater tots, cover, and refrigerate. When ready to bake, just add the tater tots and follow the baking instructions.
• Cheese Variations: Feel free to use different cheeses like cheddar or pepper jack to change up the flavor profile.
• Swap the greens: Fresh kale or chard can be used in place of spinach for a different twist.

Storage Instructions

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through. While it’s best enjoyed fresh, you can also freeze the casserole (sans the tater tots) for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before adding fresh tater tots and baking.

Pairings

This casserole pairs wonderfully with a mixed green salad, garlic bread, and a crisp white wine like Sauvignon Blanc. For non-alcoholic options, try a chilled sparkling water with a splash of lemon.
