Method5 steps · about 35 min

1. 1

   Step 1: Make the garlic herb dipping sauce first, so the flavors have some time to blend. In a small bowl, stir together the sour cream (1/2 cup), dried parsley (1/2 tsp), dried oregano (1/4 tsp), dried basil (1/4 tsp), garlic powder (1/8 tsp), onion powder (1/8 tsp), salt (1/8 tsp), and pepper. Refrigerate the dip until ready to eat.

   Step 4: Heat 1 Tbsp cooking oil in a large non-stick skillet (cast iron, ceramic, or teflon) over medium heat. Once the skillet is hot and the oil is shimmering, add the vegetable fritter batter to the skillet in ¼ cup dollops, pressing the mixture down to a flat pancake once it's in the skillet. Cook the fritters for about 3 minutes on each side, or until deep golden brown on both sides. Cook 3 or 4 fritters in the skillet at a time, adding another tablespoon of oil between batches. Transfer the cooked fritters to a paper towel lined plate.
