1/2 cup sour cream

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

# Instructions:
01 -
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the dressing reaches the desired consistency. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
02 -
In one bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal (if using), garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.

Dip each mushroom slice into the egg mixture, then dredge it in the flour mixture, ensuring each slice is fully coated. Place the coated mushrooms on a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes to help the coating adhere.
04 -
Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the mushrooms in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer fried mushrooms to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Arrange the fried mushrooms on a platter and serve alongside the chilled ranch dressing for dipping.
