Instructions

In another dish, mix 1/2 cup each cornstarch and cornmeal with 2 tablespoons chopped dill, 2 teaspoons paprika, and salt and pepper. Dip about 3 dozen cold pickle slices in the plain cornstarch, then the egg wash, then the cornmeal mixture. Fry in 2 inches of 375 degrees F canola oil until golden, about 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels and serve with ranch dressing.

These were not as crispy as I would like. I will look for a different batter.
I made this tonight for the first time on an impulse and they came out great. I used dill pickles and added a bit of oregano instead of pepper. It was very easy to make and everyone loved them.
Ok, but not as flavorful as I would have thought they would be. Tried making them as chips and spears with my favorite brand of pickles (Claussen). Probably should have added more seasoning to each step. They were crispy and crunchy and easy to make. I will probably try again.
I have never made fried pickles before and I tried this recipe….not only was it EASY to prepare, but it was a huge hit wit the fam!!! I made my own spicy ranch to go with and they were gone in an instant!!! I highly recommend this recipe and I took some advice from previous reviews and sprinkled cajun seasoning on them once they came out of the fryer!! DELICIOUS!!
These fried pickles were better than french fries! They weren’t greasy and were flavorful and crunchy! Fantastic!
I tried this recipe the sauce was great. but the batter for the pickles was way to much salt. I used slap yo mama for the Cajun seasoning. I even left out the Italian seasoning thought that might be making them to salty. Made 3 batches all to much salt.
I’m sorry, but I did not think these were very good at all. I much prefer Alton Brown’s recipe. The cornstarch in this recipe did not do it for me.
One word. AMAZING!!!!
♫Mmmm huhmm good food good food goood fooood♫
My family is addicted to fried pickles, but sometimes the restaurant versions are “hit or miss” – this one was perfect the first time! We followed the advice to dry the pickles first, and we had no complaints at all. We did sprinkle them after they came out of the oil with a little cajun seasoning, and they were awesome!
