Fiery Tater Tot Waffles with Hidden Valley Ranch

Prep: 10 min l Total: 30 min l Serves 2

Ingredients 
Waffles
1 pound (about 3 cups) frozen Tater Tots
½ cup Hidden Valley Sriracha ranch dressing, waffle
2 teaspoons hot sauce 
1 large egg 
½ cup all-purpose flour 
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper 
Vegetable oil, for brushing 
Sauce
⅓ cup Hidden Valley Sriracha ranch dressing, sauce
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lime juice
2 teaspoon finely chopped cilantro, for garnish (optional) 

Directions 
1. Preheat oven to 225ºF. 

2. In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the Tater Tots until slightly thawed, about 4 minutes on high heat. Using a rubber spatula, lightly mash the Tater Tots. In a separate bowl, mix in Hidden Valley Sriracha ranch, hot sauce, and egg until well combined. Stir in flour and cayenne pepper until well combined; batter should be firm and hold its shape.

3. Heat waffle iron until hot. Brush the iron with vegetable oil. Spoon about ⅓ cup Tater Tots mixture into the waffle iron. Cook until golden brown and crisp, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer prepared waffles to a sheet tray and keep warm in the oven. Repeat until all the waffles are made.

4. In a small bowl, whisk together the Hidden Valley Sriracha ranch with the lime juice. Drizzle the sauce on the waffles. Garnish with cilantro.
