Elvis' favorite fried pickles

Elvis' favorite fried pickles made by Babs Costello.

Ingredients

2 cups dill pickle slices (I like Wickles Dirty Dill Pickle Slices)

1 egg whisked with 1 tbsp water

1/2 cup panko bread crumbs

1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp garlic powder

Directions

In a medium bowl, combine panko, parmesan cheese, oregano and garlic powder. In a small bowl whisk together egg and water. Dredge each pickle in the egg mixture and then dry the mixture. Set the pickles aside to dry.

Before frying, lightly spray each pickle with nonstick cooking spray on both sides. Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees. Cook pickles for 4 minutes per side until golden brown. Serve with ranch for dipping.

"The Banshees of Inisherin"-inspired mini stuffed new potatoes.

Ingredients

1 bag new potatoes

1 tbsp olive oil

Sprinkle sea salt

2 1/2 ounces sour cream

Directions

Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Prick the potatoes with a fork, rub with the oil, then toss with sea salt. Arrange potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes or until fork tender. Let the potatoes cool for 10-15 minutes, then cut a small cross in the top of each and pinch the bases to open a little. Add a teaspoon of sour cream to each, a little freshly ground black pepper and a sprinkling of chives.
