Main Ingredients

  • 1 medium russet potato (about 10 ounces), thinly sliced Use a mandoline for uniformity.
  • 1 jar (16-ounce) juice from pickles Dill pickle brine is best.
  • 1 tablespoon dried dill Divided; add half to soak and the rest after drying.
  • 1.5 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil A neutral oil is fine.
  • 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.125 teaspoon cayenne pepper Increase to taste for more heat.

Optional Serving

  • 1 serving Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip For serving.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Thinly slice the potato (about 1/16-inch thick). Place slices in a large bowl.
  • Pour the pickle juice over the potato slices. Add 1 tablespoon of the dried dill and stir to coat. Let sit for 1 hour, stirring occasionally so all slices get brined.
  • After marinating, drain the potatoes in a colander and pat thoroughly dry with paper towels.
  • In the bowl, toss the drained potatoes with the olive oil, kosher salt, garlic powder, cayenne, and the remaining 1 teaspoon dried dill.

Cooking

  • Arrange potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if needed to avoid crowding.
  • Air fry at 325°F (163°C) for about 20 minutes, tossing every 5-7 minutes for even browning.
  • The chips should be golden and crisp at the edges when done.

Serving

  • Serve hot with Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip, if you like.

Notes

For a lighter snack, keep them plain. Optional dips include tzatziki or herbed sour cream. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days; re-crisp in the air fryer or oven.
