Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Zesty Deviled Pickles
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, shredded cheeses, mustard, minced garlic, chopped scallions, dill, chopped pickles, pickle juice, hot sauce, and dehydrated potato flakes. Blend until smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  2. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add panko breadcrumbs and cook for about 3-5 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove from heat and let cool.
  3. Check the filling's consistency. If too thick, mix in additional pickle juice until creamy. Transfer filling to piping bag.
  4. On a serving platter, arrange pickle chips. Pipe creamy filling onto each chip and sprinkle toasted breadcrumbs over the top.
  5. Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container for no longer than 2 hours.
