Olive Bites image

We used to eat fried olive bites at the State Fair of Texas but they got dropped due to the supplier not supplying them . I came up with my own version to satisfy our craving. Good as is but we like to dip in a creamy Greek dip. These can be made ahead and frozen. Allow to come to room temp approx 30 minutes before frying.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my olive bites turned out terrible. They were dry, bland, and unappetizing.
