Portabella Fries
Ranch Dressing
Method
Preparing the Portabella Fries
- 1
- 2
Make the Battering Mixture
In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or a heavy pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Batter the Mushrooms
Dip each mushroom strip into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat it in the flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure the batter adheres.
- 5
Fry the Mushrooms
Carefully lower the battered mushroom strips into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, then remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Chill the Dressing
Cover the ranch dressing and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
