Enjoy all the flavors of classic fried pickles, in dip form, with this creamy Fried Pickle Dip. This creamy dip is made with sour cream, cream cheese, lots of dill pickles, and ranch seasoning. The "fried" part comes from the butter toasted Panko breadcrumbs!
In a small skillet pan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. In a small bowl, mix together the Panko breadcrumbs and old bay seasoning. Add the Panko mixture into the melted butter and stir until it's coated.
2 tablespoons butter, 1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs, 1 teaspoon old bay seasoning
Continue cooking, while stirring constantly, over medium-high heat until the mixture is golden brown. Remove from the heat and set the pan aside to cool completely while you prepare the dip.
In a medium bowl, add the sour cream, cream cheese, ranch seasoning mix packet, pickle juice, and lemon juice. Mix with an electric hand mixer until combined, smooth, and lump-free.
1 cup sour cream, 1 bar (8 oz) cream cheese, 1 packet ranch dressing & seasoning mix, 1 tablespoon dill pickle juice, 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Stir in the chopped pickles and the fresh dill (or dried dill) until combined.
1 cup chopped dill pickles, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
Place the dip inside a serving bowl and garnish with the cooled toasted Panko crumbs, additional chopped dill pickles, and additional dill (if wanted). Serve with wavy potato chips, kettle chips, tortilla chips, pita chips, crackers, veggie sticks, or pretzel crisps.
