  • 1 1.0 oz package Ranch salad dressing and dip mix
  • 3 cups shredded potatoes squeezed dry
  • 1 medium onion shredded, squeezed dry
  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 4 oz can diced green chiles well drained
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 3 Tbsp chopped fresh chives

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar or colby jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil for frying additional as needed

Instructions

  • Whisk together sour cream and dry salad dressing mix. Cover and chill until serving. (This should be done several hours in advance or overnight)

  • Add to a medium size mixing bowl with flour, green chiles, eggs, chives, garlic salt, pepper and shredded cheese. Mix until fully combined.

  • Serve immediately topped with a dollop of ranch sour cream and garnished with chives.
