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.

• Heat oil in deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Add potatoes, and cook until golden, 5 to 6 minutes. drain on paper towels. Season with salt to taste.
• Comment copied and pasted from someone else: For those who think it's odd to soak them in warm water...well the warm water is merely to dissolve the sugar. After the sugar is dissolved I add some ice and then do the soaking. These fries are the best. I have baked these (spraying with pam & seasoning w/ garlic salt) as well as fried them and they are always a hit.

HOMEMADE FRENCH FRIES RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Potatoes like russets or Idaho are perfect for fries. I like to find potatoes that are about the same size as my french fry cutter because I will get the longest fry possible. Wash your potatoes and then peel the skin away with a vegetable peeler. I like to remove all the skin, but you can leave some on for more rustic French fries. Set the potato inside the french fry cutter and press down on the handle. As you cut the potatoes, add the slices to a bowl of ice cold water. The water is one of the keys to getting fries that are crispy and cooked throughout. It removes the starch in the potatoes, keeps the fries from sticking together, and eliminates the sugars that keep the potato from getting crispy. The bowl of fries in water should be put into the refrigerator for at least two hours to overnight. This will make them turn out crispier. After the potatoes have soaked pour the water out and rinse the fries in clean water. Empty the potatoes onto a towel and pat them dry. Then add the fries to the fryer basket. You should preheat your fryer....your manual should tell you the exact temperature for your particular machine to cook French fries. When the oil is heated, put the potatoes in the fryer and cook for about 15 minutes or until they are a golden brown color. Empty the cooked fries into a bowl lined with paper towels to absorb the grease. Season with kosher salt while the fries are warm.
