Ingredients
  

For the Potato Rings
  • 4 large russet potatoes Nothing says classic like a good ol’ russet!
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour To get that lovely crunch
  • 2 large eggs Think of them as little binding agents
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs For that extra crispy coating
  • to taste salt and pepper Always to taste
For the Buttermilk Ranch
  • 1 cup buttermilk Dairy dreams start here
  • ½ cup mayonnaise The creamy element
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • to taste salt and pepper Flavor matters!

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Grab the russet potatoes and peel them. Slice them into rings about ½ inch thick.
  2. Soak the potato rings in a bowl of cold salted water for about 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
  3. Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour seasoned with salt and pepper, one with whisked eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
Breading and Cooking
  1. Dip each potato ring in flour, then in the egg mixture, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
  2. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the potato rings in batches until golden brown and drain on a paper towel.
Make the Buttermilk Ranch
  1. In a bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, and season with salt and pepper.

Notes

Soaking the potatoes for 30 minutes helps achieve optimal crunch. Feel free to experiment with spices like paprika or cayenne in the breadcrumbs. Store any leftover ranch in the fridge for 3–5 days.
