  • 1 cup pickle juice (from a 16-ounce pickle jar)
  • 1 tablespoon dried dill (divided)
  • 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (increase to 1/4 teaspoon for super spicy chips)

  • Sharp Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Mixing bowl
  • Measuring spoons

Method
 

From Start to Finish: Air Fryer Spicy Dill Pickle Chips
  1. Begin by washing the russet potato thoroughly to remove any dirt. Using a sharp knife, slice the potato into thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick. The thinner the slices, the crispier your chips will be!
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the potato slices with the pickle juice, 1 tablespoon of dried dill, olive oil, kosher salt, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Toss everything together until the potato slices are evenly coated. Allow them to marinate for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to meld.
  3. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes. This step is crucial for ensuring your chips cook evenly and get that delightful crunch.
  4. Once preheated, arrange the potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to do this in batches. Avoid overcrowding the basket to ensure proper air circulation.
  5. Air fry the potato slices for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time. Keep an eye on them towards the end to prevent burning, as cooking times may vary slightly based on your air fryer model.
  6. Once the chips are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool slightly. This will help them crisp up even more as they cool. Serve with a side of Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip if desired.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, consider adding smoked paprika to the seasoning.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat leftover chips in the air fryer for a few minutes to regain their crispiness.
