Preheat oven to 420°F (215°C). Spread frozen tater tots in single layer on baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy. For air fryer, cook 15-20 minutes at 375°F (190°C), shaking occasionally.
Whisk together mayonnaise, Parmesan, garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper. Add anchovy paste if using.
Thin with milk or water if needed to reach desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasonings.
Combine chopped romaine, shredded chicken, and red onion (if using) in large mixing bowl.
Pour half the dressing over salad and toss gently to coat. Add more dressing if desired.
Sprinkle in ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese. Add hot crispy tater tots immediately after baking.
Give one final gentle toss to combine everything.
Divide among plates, garnish with extra Parmesan and black pepper. Serve immediately.
