Also curious about things that are the other way around where they look really good but taste awful.

      Not to boast but i’ve never seen it with water at the bottom like this. Is this perhaps the outcome of layering the top with potato nuggets from the freezer rather than mashed potato?

        That would make sense. Maybe this is a much better way of doing it then if it allows vegetables moisture to bake out evenly

          You could probably defrost them first. It’s hard to overcook tots. You can also defrost frozen hash browns and then squeeze out all the moisture. It’s a handy potato pancake cheat. You’d get a super crispy top, and no water, but you do need to squeeze like it’s a stone.
