    I like best dipped in ranch dressing!
  9. 9
    I make triple batches at a time and, before frying, I spread them out on a cookie sheet and freeze.

    When solid, after about 2 hours in the freezer, I vacuum seal them with my Food Saver and store in the freezer for late-night cravings.

    No need to thaw before deep frying.
