Who Invented Fried Pickles?
Fried pickles came into popularity in theSouthern U.S. during the early 1960s. Bernell "Fatman" Austin is often cited as the inventor, having added them to the menu t the duch*ess Drive In located inAtkins, Arkansas in 1963.
Legend has it that The Fatman's now infamous recipe is closely guarded by his family and only used once a year for the annual AtkinsPicklefest.
Interestingly, the first known printed fried pickle recipe was not published in the South. TheOakland Tribunefeatured a recipe for "French Fried Pickles" in their November 19, 1962 edition. That recipe called for using sweet pickle slices and pancake mix (which sounds amazing!).

Equipment
Ingredients
For the dip:
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp horseradish
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- ¼ tsp Cajun seasoning
For the pickles:
- Vegetable oil
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Cajun seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon oregano
- ¼ teaspoon basil
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Kosher salt
- 2 cups dill pickles drained and sliced
Instructions
Preheat oil to 375 degrees.
In a small bowl, mix all the dip ingredients. Set aside.
Place about 1 ½” of vegetable oil in a wide pot and heat over medium high heat.
In a medium bowl, mix flour, Cajun seasoning, oregano, basil, pepper and salt.
Depending on how big your pot is, you may have to fry the pickles in 2 batches. You don’t want the pickles to overlap when they’re frying, so make sure you have enough space.
Coat the pickles with the flour mixture and shake off excess. Gently add the pickles to the oil, one at a time.
Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove pickles with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel. Repeat with another batch, if necessary.
Serve right away with dipping sauce.
