For an extra layer of flavor, try using smoked paprika instead of regular paprika. Feel free to substitute cheddar cheese or Monterey Jack cheese for the Mexican-blend cheese. If you don't have rotisserie chicken on hand, you can use leftover cooked chicken or canned chicken. Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your preference. To make ahead, assemble the casserole and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Add 10-15 minutes to the baking time.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Coat a 9- x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
02
StepCombine potatoes, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a large bowl; toss until evenly coated. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
03
StepBake in the preheated oven until potatoes are golden and fork-tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Set aside.
04
StepMeanwhile, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain bacon on a paper towel-lined plate; remove and reserve 1 tablespoon drippings from the skillet. When bacon is cool enough to handle, finely chop, and set aside (about 1/2 cup).
05
StepIn the same large bowl, combine chicken, cream cheese, water, scallions, hot sauce, 1/4 cup of the bacon pieces, reserved bacon drippings, 1 1/2 cups cheese, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt.
06
StepFold chicken mixture into the potatoes in the casserole dish until well combined. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheese.
07
StepBake until cheese is melted, about 10 minutes longer.
08
StepSet an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and switch to the oven's broiler function. Broil on high for 3 minutes or until cheese is bubbling and brown in spots.
09
StepGarnish with remaining bacon (about 1/4 cup) and additional scallions. Serve with sour cream.
