Ingredients

  • 5 whole dill pickles, drained
  • 1 cups flour
  • 2 eggs, scrambled
  • 1 cups breadcrumbs or Panko
  • 2.25 tsp salt, plus more for garnish
  • 0.5 cups mayonnaise
  • 0.5 cups sour cream
  • 1 tsp dill weed
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp parsley
  • handful fresh chives, chopped
  • freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • freshly squeezed lemon juice, if needed, to brighten

Instructions

  • Using a waffle cutter mandolin, slice the pickles into ridged chips. Dry on a paper towel until ready to coat.
  • In 3 different plates, line up the flour and season it with 1 teaspoon of salt, the eggs, and the breadcrumbs of your choosing. Following this assembly line, coat the pickles in flour, egg, and breadcrumb. Repeat once more for a double coating, making sure to shake off any access of each before moving down the line.
  • In the Salton mini deep fryer, heat 1 qt. of canola oil to 350 degrees. Place half of the pickles in the basket and fry for 3-5 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from the fryer and let cool on a cooling rack fitted over a baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt to garnish. Repeat with the remaining pickles.
  • Make the ranch by combining mayonnaise, sour cream, dill weed, garlic powder, parsley, fresh chives, ground pepper, lemon juice (if needed), and 1¼ teaspoon of salt together and mixing with a fork or whisk, refrigerate if you prefer your dipping sauces cold and slightly thicker. Plate the pickle chips and ranch, garnish with more freshly chopped chives, and enjoy!
