Fried Pickles With Pickled Ranch Dip Food

SPICY PICKLE FRIES WITH HOMEMADE RANCH DIP

Steps:

• For the homemade ranch dip: Add the buttermilk, mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic, salt, vinegar, pepper, onion powder and hot sauce to a food processor. Pulse until well combined and smooth. Add the parsley and dill and pulse 4 to 5 times to incorporate. Pour into a serving bowl and set aside.
• For the spicy pickle fries: Pat the pickle spears dry and refrigerate until well chilled. Heat 2 inches of oil in a large heavy pot to 350 degrees F on a deep-frying thermometer. Line a plate with paper towels.
• Combine the flour, cayenne and salt in a wide shallow bowl. Beat the eggs in another shallow bowl. Put the panko in a third shallow bowl.
• Working with a few spears at a time, dredge the pickles in the flour and shake off the excess. Roll them in the egg to coat, then let the excess drip off before coating them thoroughly in panko. Carefully add half the pickles to the oil and fry until golden brown, about 1 minute. With a slotted spoon, transfer the pickles to the lined plate to drain. Repeat with the remaining pickle spears. Serve hot with ranch dip.

DELICIOUS DEEP FRIED PICKLES

Steps:

• Combine bread crumbs, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper in a bowl; set aside. Whisk egg and milk together in a separate bowl. Dip dill pickle spears into the egg mixture, then into the bread crumb mixture until well-coated. Dip the pickles in the egg and bread crumb mixtures a second time so each spear is double coated. Arrange pickles in a single layer on a baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the freezer until the breading is set, about 30 minutes.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

FRIED PICKLES WITH PICKLED RANCH DIP

Steps:

• Line a large baking sheet with paper towels. Arrange 40 pickle chips (about 1 1/2 cups) in an even layer on top, and cover with another layer of paper towels, pressing gently to absorb excess moisture. Set aside.
• Prepare the pickled ranch dip: Finely chop the remaining 8 pickle chips. Transfer to a small bowl and add the mayonnaise, dill, chives, garlic salt (if using), onion powder and 1/3 cup buttermilk. Stir to combine, season to taste with salt and chill until ready to serve.
• Add the oil to a medium saucepan and heat over medium-high until oil comes to 375 degrees, about 5 minutes. Cover another baking sheet with paper towels for draining the fried pickles.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the flour with 2 teaspoons each salt and pepper. In another medium bowl, whisk the remaining 2/3 cup buttermilk with the hot sauce. Add the bread crumbs to a large shallow bowl. Working in about four batches, add about 10 pickle chips to the flour mixture and toss to coat. Transfer to the buttermilk mixture, turning until coated. Allow the excess buttermilk mixture to drip off, then transfer to the bread crumbs. Turn pickle chips to coat in bread crumbs, packing bread crumbs on top until chips are fully covered, and transfer them to a plate.
• Add coated pickles to the hot oil, dispersing them evenly, and cook, turning halfway through, until crisp and lightly browned, about 1 minute. Transfer to the paper towel-lined sheet pan. Repeat with remaining pickles, adjusting heat as needed to maintain oil at 375 degrees. Serve immediately, with pickled ranch dip.
