Ingredients
Scale
Potato and Marinade
- 1 medium russet potato (about 10 ounces), thinly sliced
- Juice from 1 (16-ounce) jar of pickles
- 1 tablespoon dried dill
Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1 1/2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (increase for more heat)
Optional
- Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip, for serving
Instructions
- Marinate Potatoes: Place the thinly sliced potatoes in a large bowl. Pour the pickle juice over the potatoes, add 1 tablespoon of dried dill, and stir well to coat all slices evenly. Allow the potatoes to marinate for 1 hour, stirring occasionally to ensure uniform flavor absorption.
- Season Potatoes: After marinating, drain the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. In a clean bowl, toss the potatoes with extra virgin olive oil, kosher salt, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of dried dill until all slices are well coated.
- Air Fry: Arrange the potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Air fry at 325°F (163°C) for 20 minutes, tossing and shaking the basket every 5 to 7 minutes to promote even cooking until the chips are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Serve the spicy dill pickle chips hot, paired with Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip if desired, for a creamy and cool complement to the spicy, tangy chips.
