Ingredients

2 tsp Dan-O’s Dips Ranch
1 tsp Dan-O’s Ranch Cheesoning
1 pound frozen tater tots, thawed
¼ cup sour cream
¼ cup mayonnaise
1 egg
⅓ cup flour
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, plus more for garnish
2 tbsp sliced scallions, and more for garnish

Preparation Instructions

Grab a bowl and give those tater tots a light mash. We’re not making mashed potatoes here, just break ’em up a bit so they’re ready to soak up all that flavor.
In another bowl, mix together the sour cream, mayo, Dan-O’s Dips Ranch, egg, flour, scallions, and shredded cheese until everything’s nice and smooth.
Now fold that creamy ranch mixture right into the tots. The batter should be thick and sturdy—able to hold its shape. That’s how you know you’re on the right track.
Heat up your waffle iron and brush it with a little vegetable oil so nothing sticks. Spoon about 1/3 cup of batter onto the iron—just enough to reach the edges and about ¾ to 1 inch thick.
Close it up and cook until those waffles are golden brown and crispy, about 5–7 minutes. Keep ’em warm and repeat with the rest of the batter.
Serve these bad boys hot with extra cheese, sliced scallions, and a side of sour cream or ranch for dipping.
