Ingredients (8)

For safe meat preparation, reference the USDA website.

Steps (4)

  1. 1

    In a mixing bowl, lightly mash the tater tots. In a separate bowl, mix together the sour cream, mayo, ranch seasoning powder, egg, flour and cheese until well combined.

  2. 2

    Fold the dressing mixture into the frozen tots (the batter should be firm and hold its shape). Heat a waffle iron until hot and brush with vegetable oil.

  3. 3

    Spoon about 1/3 cup batter into the waffle iron, or enough for it to reach the edge and be about ¾-1-inch thick. Cook until golden brown and crisp, about 5–7 minutes; keep warm and repeat with remaining batter.  

  4. 4

    Serve hot, sprinkled with some extra cheese and sliced scallions, with a bowl of ranch for dipping.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great flavor...but Happy I tried this. Next time I'll try using O'Brien hash browns instead of tater tots. More of a texture thing with me.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Easy recipe, tasty but not the healthiest As titled, this recipe is easy but full of fatty calories. You can substitute for lower calorie versions of the same ingredients or substitute for healthier alternatives where possible. I did add a few extra ingredients to liven up the waffles; which again, that was easy enough to do with this recipe. All in all, this is a decent recipe. Definitely recommend trying, as well as, making it “your own”

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Omg!!!!!!!!!!! Omg these are incredible!!!! I never liked potato pancakes since they were always way too greasy and fattening.....BUT waffle style with some hidden valley ranch seasoning just blew my mind!!!!!! The second time I made these, I put a sunny side up egg on top of the waffle....breaking into that egg, and having it drip alllllll over the potato waffle was like heaven!!!!!!!!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Breakfast Twist I would never have thought of using ranch in a breakfast dish, but this totally works! It also makes breakfast for dinner a bit less stigmatizing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Idea My son chose this as one of the first things he wanted to make after Graduation. He made me breakfast and himself while his Dad was at work as a surprise. He saw I had this marked as something to try. We both loved it and plan on making again.
