She just recently passed away & I couldnt be sadder that I didnt beg for her recipes before hand...(RIP)! But one of the things that she used to make was good ole Idaho Nachos....so pretty much it is just nachos but instead of chips you use CRISPY tator tots..try it!

ADD: blend with hand blender

1 c sour cream

8 oz cream cheese

6 green onions chopped

1 tsp garlic salt

salt and pepper

1/4 c butter

handful of cheddar

**it's going to look like mashed potatoes
