RANCH POTATO RINGS #5FIX

Steps:

• Peel film at corner of Simply Potatoes package to vent and heat on high for 3 minutes in microwave.
• Completely remove film and stir.
• Microwave on high for 1 additional minute.
• Add 1 Tablespoon of Hidden Valley Ranch mix. Mix well. You can add more according to your taste.
• Let cool just enough to touch. You want it a bit warm. It pipes out better when it's a little warm.
• Load your piping bag with the mashed potatoes, (or Zip Lock Bag). Snip off the tip of the bag enough to have a nice size whole.
• On a wax paper lined baking sheet, pipe mashed potatoes out into an "onion ring" shape. Nice plump circles.
• Once all your rings are done, stick into freezer until firmly frozen. 30 minutes should work fine.
• Preheat your deep fryer to 350.
• Prepare your Onion Ring Batter according to the directions on the box.
• Take a few out of the freezer at a time. Work in batches keeping the others frozen until ready to batter and fry.
• Dip your potato ring into batter, shake off excess.
• Fry 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
• Note~you do not have to cook these right away. They keep frozen beautifully for future cravings.
