Crispy and flavorful Air Fryer Spicy Dill Pickle Chips combine the tangy zest of pickle juice with a spicy dill seasoning, creating a healthier alternative to traditional fried chips. These easy-to-make homemade potato chips are perfectly seasoned and air-fried to golden crispness, ideal for snacking or serving with a creamy Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip.

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

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1 ½ teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper (increase for more heat)

Optional

  • Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip, for serving

Instructions

  1. Marinate Potatoes: Place the thinly sliced potatoes in a bowl and pour the pickle juice over them. Add 1 tablespoon of dried dill and stir to ensure all the slices are coated evenly. Let the potatoes marinate for 1 hour, stirring occasionally to enhance flavor absorption.
  2. Season Potatoes: After marinating, drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Toss the dried potatoes with olive oil, kosher salt, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of dried dill to evenly season them.
  3. Air Fry: Preheat the air fryer to 325°F (163°C). Arrange the seasoned potato slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Air fry for approximately 20 minutes, shaking or tossing the basket every 5 to 7 minutes to promote even cooking and browning, until the chips are golden brown and crispy.
  4. Serve: Serve the spicy dill pickle chips hot, optionally with a side of Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip for a creamy and cooling complement.

Notes

  • Marinating the potatoes in pickle juice infuses them with a tangy flavor and helps achieve a unique taste.
  • Patting the potatoes dry before air frying is crucial for crispiness.
  • Adjust the cayenne pepper according to your preferred spice level.
  • Cooking in batches prevents overcrowding and ensures even crisping of chips.
  • Store leftover chips in an airtight container; crispness is best on the day of making.
  • For a dairy-free dip, consider a vegan ranch alternative or skip the dip altogether.
