Ingredients
Scale
Pickle Chips
- 1 medium russet potato (about 10 ounces), thinly sliced
- Juice from 1 (16-ounce) jar of pickles
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon dried dill, divided
- 1 ½ teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- â…› teaspoon cayenne pepper (increase for more heat)
Optional Dip
- Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip, for serving
Instructions
- Marinate Potatoes: Place the thinly sliced potatoes in a bowl and pour the pickle juice over them. Add 1 tablespoon of dried dill, then stir well to ensure all potato slices are coated. Let them marinate for 1 hour, stirring occasionally to allow the flavors to infuse.
- Season Potatoes: After marinating, drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly to remove excess moisture. Toss the slices with extra virgin olive oil, kosher salt, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of dried dill until evenly coated.
- Air Fry: Arrange the seasoned potato slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Air fry at 325°F (163°C) for 20 minutes, shaking or tossing the chips every 5 to 7 minutes to ensure even crispiness and golden brown edges.
- Serve: Remove the crispy dill pickle chips from the air fryer and serve immediately while hot, accompanied by Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip if desired for a creamy and tangy complement.
Notes
- Make sure to pat dry the potatoes well after marinating to achieve maximum crispiness.
- Adjust cayenne pepper quantity based on your preferred spice level.
- Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model and the thickness of the potato slices.
- Use freshly sliced potatoes for best texture; avoid pre-sliced or frozen to ensure crunchiness.
- Try serving with different dips like spicy mayo or classic ranch for variety.
