    I love potato chips and dill pickles. Recently Paul and I stayed in Flagstaff, Arizona, and ate at one of our favorite restaurants, Shift. Shift focuses on bold flavors, a locally driven menu, and artfully composed plates served amidst a casual and approachable ambiance. And they have the best pickled french fires I've ever eaten. So, I decided to make dill pickle chips at home. Not only is this dill pickle chip recipe easy, it only requires 3 simple ingredients.

    We love dill pickles, and I love to reuse pickle juice. So at our house, everyone knows whoever eats the last pickle needs to put the jar of pickle juice back into the refrigerator because they know I use it for recipes such as Vegan Tempeh Reuben sandwiches.

    And today, I used pickle juice to marinate and pickle potatoes.

    Dill Pickle Chips Ingredients

    Sliced potatoes on a cutting board.
    • Baking Potatoes: I left the skins on and used a mandoline to slice the potatoes thin.
    • Dill Pickle Juice: I used the dill pickle juice from a jar of Vlasic Dill Pickles.
    • Dried Dill: Dried dill works best for this recipe since you are baking or air frying the dill pickle potato chips.

    Dill Pickle Chips Ingredient Substitutions

    • Choose any potatoes; just make sure they are sliced into similar-sized slices.
    • Cut potatoes into chunks rather than slices and roast or air fry.
    • Try your favorite pickle juice from sweet, sour, Gherkins, or spicy pickles.

    How to Make Dill Pickle Chips

    First, slice the potatoes using a mandoline or knife. However, the potatoes need to be similar sizes so they cook evenly.

    Then, parboil the potatoes for 3 minutes in a pot of boiling water with a couple of teaspoons of salt.

    I am parboiling the potato slices.

    Next, drain the potato slices in a colander and rinse with cold water.

    I am rinsing parboiled potato slices in a colander with cold water.

    Add the parboiled sliced potatoes into a pickle jar with the dill pickle juice, or use a different container to marinate the potatoes.

    Refrigerate for a few hours or preferably overnight. The longer the potatoes marinate, the better the flavor.

    Cooking Options

    Dill pickle chips on an air fryer pan sprinkled with dried dill.

    Sprinkle dried dill generously into the pickled potato slices, and air fry or bake the dill pickle chips.

    Air Frying

    • Add a single layer of potato slices in a single layer in the bottom of the air-fryer pan.
    • Sprinkle generously with dried dill.  
    • Heat air-frier to 400 degrees
    • Cook for 15 minutes.
    • Toss potatoes every 5 minutes if using a basket-type air fryer. If using a larger air fryer with a pan, flip the potatoes half way through cooking,
    • Then, place cooked dill pickle chips on a baking sheet and transfer to a 300-degree oven to keep warm.

    Oven

    • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
    • Place a single layer of potato slices on the pan using a baking sheet covered in parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
    • Sprinkle potato slices with a generous amount of dried dill.
    • Or, use a crisper pan, which is like an air-frier in the oven.
    • Place the pan on the center rack for 30 minutes
    • If using a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, flip potatoes after 15 minutes.

    Dipping Suggestions

    • Vegan Ranch Dip is one of my family's favorite dips for just about anything.
    • Avocado Ranch is a nut-free ranch dressing option.
    • Lemon Basil Dressing is another great dipping option.
    • Ketchup with a little Sriracha adds a little heat for those who like it spicy.
    • Mustard Dill Sauce is tangy and compliments the dill flavor profile.

    Recipe FAQS

    What happened to Lays Dill Potato Chips?

    Lays temporarily stopped the production of dill potato chips based on costumer demand.

    What doe dill pickles do for the body?

    For example, a whole dill pickle has about: 20% of the recommended amount of vitamin K, which helps your blood clot and strengthens your bones. 6% of adults need calcium for strong bones, teeth, and healthy nerves. 6% of your daily potassium requirement helps your nerves work right.

    Do pickles clean your gut?

    Pickles are also high in particular types of fiber that feed beneficial gut bacteria, acting as prebiotics – food for the probiotic gut bacteria. In addition, studies have shown that adding fermented vegetables to your diet may help with digestion.

    Tips

    • Do not add salt; the pickle juice brine is already salty and if salt is added, it is far too much.
    • Dried dill works best because you are air frying or baking the dill pickle chips recipe. Fresh dill will burn in the sir fryer/oven.
    • Fresh dill can be added after cooking if desired.
    • The dried dill sticks to the parboiled potatoes without the use of oil or cooking spray.
    • I love using air fryer parchment paper designed to fit in my specific air fryer.
    • Leftovers can be reheated ina 350-degree oven for 15 minutes or in an air fryer for 8 minutes.

    If you love pickles and potatoes, try this dill pickle chips recipe. You will love these flavors! And remember the dip!
