Crispy Fried Mushrooms with Cool Ranch Dip: A Crunchy Delight

In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, dried dill, dried parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Prepare the Fried Mushrooms:
In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
In another bowl, beat the eggs.
In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.

Coat the Mushrooms:
Dip each mushroom into the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, followed by the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks.

Fry the Mushrooms:
Heat about 1 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. To check if the oil is ready, drop in a breadcrumb; if it sizzles, the oil is hot enough. Carefully add the coated mushrooms in batches, frying for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Serve:
Arrange the crispy fried mushrooms on a serving platter and serve with the cool ranch dip on the side. Enjoy!
