Crispy Potato Rings are the perfect combination of comfort and flavor, paired with a zesty buttermilk ranch dressing. Ideal for snacks or side dishes!
Ingredients
For the Potato Rings
- 4 large russet potatoes Washed and peeled
- 1 cup all-purpose flour Mixed with salt and pepper
- 2 large eggs Lightly whisked
- 1 cup breadcrumbs Panko works best for extra crunch
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- to taste Salt and pepper
- as needed Oil for frying Alternatively, use an air fryer
For the Buttermilk Ranch Dressing
- 1 cup buttermilk
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- to taste Salt and pepper
Instructions
Preparation
- Wash and peel the russet potatoes, then slice them into rings about ¼ inch thick.
- Set up three separate bowls: one with flour mixed with salt and pepper, one with lightly whisked eggs, and another with breadcrumbs mixed with paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Coating and Frying
- Dip each potato ring into the flour mixture, shake off excess, then dunk it into the egg, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mixture.
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the potato rings in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Transfer fried rings to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Making the Dressing
- In a bowl, mix together buttermilk, mayonnaise, dill, and garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
For a spicy kick, add a splash of hot sauce to the ranch. Use an air fryer at 400°F for 15-20 minutes if you want to cut down on oil.
