How to Make Creamy Ranch Fried Potato Salad

  1. Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 2 pounds of tater tots to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Season generously with salt and pepper throughout cooking.
  3. Remove tater tots from skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Let them cool slightly.
  4. While the tater tots are cooling, prepare the creamy ranch dressing. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 cup ranch dressing, and any desired optional ingredients (see below) until smooth and creamy.
  5. Once the tater tots have cooled slightly, add them to the bowl with the ranch dressing. Gently toss to coat evenly.
  6. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
