Pichle Fries

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pickles

    Drain the dill pickle spears and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour in the first bowl, beaten eggs in the second, and breadcrumbs mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in the third.

  3. 3

    Bread the Pickles

    Coat each pickle spear first in flour, then dip into the egg, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure they are well coated.

  4. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Pickles

    Carefully add the breaded pickle spears to the hot oil in batches, frying for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Make the Avocado Ranch

    In a blender, combine the avocado, ranch dressing, lime juice, and fresh dill. Blend until smooth and creamy.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the hot Pichle Fries with the zesty avocado ranch on the side for dipping.
