For this recipe I used Ore Ida golden fries. The specific brand does not particularly matter. I usually grab those or the Publix brand. I did not pre-bake them before adding in the chicken. It did make them soft but I loved that because it was truly like eating a loaded baked potato and having the mashed potato at the bottom. You can pre-bake the fries or keep everything separate if you want crispy tater tots but I prefer it like this. Plus, my way is easier.
