Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mashed Potatoes:

    • Boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
    • Drain and return the potatoes to the pot. Add milk, butter, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy. Adjust milk and butter as needed for desired consistency. Set aside.

    • Preheat your air fryer as directed by the manufacturer. Cook the Tyson Any’tizers Popcorn Chicken according to the package instructions until crispy. Set aside.
  3. Assemble the Casserole:

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • In a large baking dish, spread the mashed potatoes evenly as the bottom layer.
    • Next, layer the corn evenly over the mashed potatoes.
    • Arrange the cooked popcorn chicken on top of the corn layer.
    • Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the chicken.
  4. Bake:

    • Place the casserole in the oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
