Garlic Aioli
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
Pickles
1 (32 ounce) jar dill pickle slices
1 cup vegetable oil (approximately 1/2-inch in a saute pan (I like my cast iron for this, but use whatever you have)
1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (go easy if you don't want too much spice)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup panko breadcrumbs (put in the mini food processor to grind up slightly)
2 eggs, beaten

1
Aioli -- just mix the mayonnaise, garlic and lemon and put in a small bowl and cover and refrigerate.
2
Pickles -- In a large baggie I add the flour, salt, black pepper and cayenne and mix well. Then add in the pickles (Note: I like to dry off the pickles first -- you don't want them wet) and lightly toss. Make sure to dust off most of the flour. Set on a plate for Part II.
3
Pickles Part II -- Grind the panko crumbs in a small food processor until you have a fine crumb mixture. Now in 2 bowls add the egg to one bowl and the panko crumbs to the other one. Dredge the pickles already dusted in flour in the egg and then into the panko crumbs to coat well and set on a plate ready to be fried.
4
Pickles Part III -- In a large frying pan heat up the oil to 350 degrees or medium high heat. Now add 10 or so pickles at a time and fry until golden brown on each side. They only take a few minutes per side. Remove to a plate lined with a paper towel to let drain.
5
Serve warm with the garlic aioli dip. A great change from fries with ketchup.
