Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes and Marinade
- 1 medium russet potato (about 10 ounces), thinly sliced
- Juice from 1 (16-ounce) jar of pickles
- 1 tablespoon dried dill
Seasonings
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1 ½ teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- â…› teaspoon cayenne pepper (increase for more heat)
Optional
- Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip, for serving
Instructions
- Marinate Potatoes: Place the thinly sliced potatoes in a bowl. Pour the pickle juice over them, add 1 tablespoon of dried dill, and stir thoroughly to coat every slice. Allow the potatoes to marinate for 1 hour, stirring occasionally to ensure even soaking.
- Season Potatoes: After marinating, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Toss the potatoes with 1 ½ teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper, and the remaining 1 teaspoon dried dill until evenly coated.
- Air Fry: Arrange the seasoned potatoes in a single layer in the basket of the air fryer. If necessary, cook the potatoes in batches to avoid overcrowding. Set the air fryer temperature to 325°F (163°C) and cook the potatoes for 20 minutes. Toss or shake the basket every 5 to 7 minutes to ensure crispiness and even cooking. Continue cooking until the chips are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Once cooked, serve the spicy dill pickle chips hot with optional Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip for a tangy, creamy complement.
Notes
- For extra heat, increase the amount of cayenne pepper according to your preference.
- Make sure potatoes are sliced uniformly for even cooking and crispiness.
- Patting the potatoes dry after marinating is crucial to achieve a crispy texture.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure proper air circulation and even frying.
- These chips are best eaten fresh to enjoy maximum crunch.
