Ingredients
Scale
Potato 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. Pour the pickle juice over the potatoes, add 1 tablespoon of the dried dill, and stir to coat evenly. Allow the potatoes to marinate for 1 hour, stirring occasionally to ensure thorough flavor absorption.
- Season Potatoes: After marinating, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Toss the potatoes in a bowl with extra virgin olive oil, kosher salt, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of dried dill until well coated.
- Air Fry: Arrange the seasoned potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Work in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding. Air fry the potatoes at 325°F (163°C) for 20 minutes, tossing every 5 to 7 minutes to ensure even cooking and crispiness. Continue until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Serve the spicy dill pickle chips hot, accompanied by Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip if desired for a cooling contrast to the spicy, tangy chips.
Notes
- For extra crunch, make sure to pat dry the potato slices thoroughly after marinating.
- You can adjust the cayenne pepper amount to make the chips more or less spicy to suit your preference.
- Use a mandoline slicer for uniform thin potato slices to ensure even cooking.
- Leftover chips can be stored in an airtight container and reheated briefly in the air fryer to restore crispiness.
