      You take the ranch, and you freeze it in small balls like cheese curds, then remove them, roll them in seasoned flower, drop into room temp ranch, and back into panko. Fry at 350 degrees for 90 seconds.

      I just made that all up but that’s what I would try first.

      (Hoping you can get it to solidify, remember deep fried ice cream is a thing)

            Oh I’m not going to do it, but I have seen people freeze things and deep fry them. I think the trick is, to let it thaw some maybe?

              You freeze mozzarella cheese before frying when you make homemade mozzarella sticks. It helps it not leak out before it’s browned on the outside properly.
              It’s not exactly a liquid like ranch dressing, so I’m not sure it’d be the same, but it could work

    What is ranch? I’m English and I don’t have a valid frame of reference for the concept of ranch other than large cattle farm.

      A milk/cream based dressing with onion, garlic and dill as the main seasonings, with 4-5 others sprinkled in.

        That’s an unfair comparison.

        For grandparent:

        Ranch is mayonnaise-based, but is savory, with seasonings and plenty of umami. There’s a lot of variation, and IMO the best version is Uncle Dan’s (Amazon).

        It’s a cream dressing, so plenty heavy. Often used for dipping stuff. With Uncle Dan’s (which comes as a powder), you mix it with buttermilk and mayo for a dressing; or you mix it with Greek yoghurt (or sour cream) and mayo for a dip.

          I disagree that’s it’s an “unfair comparison.” It’s certainly not a 1:1, but to help someone with absolutely no bearing on what ranch dressing is understand, I think it’s a decent shorthand.

          It’s like if someone from Mexico asked what sriracha is and I replied, “it’s like the Thai version of Tapatío.” Is it perfect? No, there’s way more nuance, but it gets them most of the way toward understanding.

            Fair enough. I’m leery of easy comparisons, because in my mind, they’re such radically different things. It’s like saying a Wiener Schnitzel is basically like American fried chicken. I mean, I guess? They’re both meat, they’re both battered and fried. But they’re drastically different foods.

            Shit, I’ll go further: my pet peeve is crème brûlée. It’s egg yolk, heavy cream, sugar and vanilla. That’s it. But every chef at every restaurant has this compulsion to fuck with the recipe; their crème brûlée has lemon, or strawberry, or sage or cayenne or some shit… just leave the fucking recipe alone! Stop trying to be edgy or special! They always have to fuck with the recipe, and it drives me nuts, because it invariably ruins an already perfect recipe. You add shit to a perfect recipe and it can only get less perfect. So, IMO, my crème brûlée, is not like the crème brûlée at that restaurant: not because I’m some awesome chef, but because crème brûlée is a stupid easy recipe that’s almost impossible to screw up… unless you add fucking jalepeño or some such crap.

    It’s not deep fried ranch dressing. The image clearly states it is fried ranch flavored cream cheese. Fried cheese isn’t weird.

      Even a sauce breaded and deep-fried isn’t that weird; it’s basically what a croquette is.

      I had it and I liked. Did I feel a little disgusting having it? Yes. But if someone offers you deep fried ranch at the MN State fair you got to try it.

      fried ranch flavored cream cheese

      Oh, well never mind. That definitely won’t taste absolutely horrible and is totally not a bad idea for a cheese flavor.

      Fried cheese isn’t weird.

      Isn’t it, though?

          Hey, you eat what you like, but separating hot fat from cold fat with some breading and making the cold fat also hot fat is kind of weird.

        Who says he hadn’t already done it a few times already, including the one people wrote about? It’s not like there would be many survivors to share the story … and the ones left alive would definitely be told what they could or couldn’t commit to history.
