Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Spread potato nuggets in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden
20 to 25 minutes.
Meanwhile
heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook bacon in the hot skillet
turning occasionally
until evenly browned
about 10 minutes. Drain bacon on a paper towel-lined plate
then chop coarsely and set aside.
Make sauce: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir shallot in hot butter until fragrant. Stir in flour and cook until light golden
about 2 minutes. Whisk in milk and sour cream; stir until smooth and thick
about 5 minutes. Season with black pepper and nutmeg. Stir in 1 cup Cheddar cheese until fully melted.
Transfer potato nuggets to a 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle bacon on top. Pour cheese sauce over nuggets. Cover with remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven just until cheese melts
about 7 minutes. Garnish with green onions and sour cream to serve.
