2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Potato chips for dipping
# Instructions:
01 -
Melt butter in a small pan over medium heat. Add panko and cook, stirring now and then, until it’s golden brown and crispy. Once done, set it aside to cool.
02 -
In a big mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to whip together the sour cream and cream cheese until super smooth and creamy.
03 -
Throw in the ranch seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and a splash of lemon juice. Mix everything until it’s all combined and packed with flavor.
04 -
Carefully fold in the chopped pickles, chives, fresh dill, and half the toasted breadcrumbs. Stir gently so the mix stays light and airy.
05 -
Move the creamy mixture into your serving bowl, then scatter the rest of the toasted panko on top. Sprinkle the extra pickles, chives, and dill to make it look amazing.
06 -
Have it with a heap of potato chips and enjoy scooping up all that yummy, tangy dip.
# Notes:
01 -
Prepare it earlier—up to a day in advance—and chill it in the fridge.
02 -
The crunchy panko gives a fried-pickle kind of vibe.
03 -
Try pairing it with pretzel crackers or toasted baguette slices for a change.
