Ingredients

For The Fries

  • 2 large russet potatoes in wedges/thin fries
  • 2 cups Dill Pickle Juice plus 1 tablespoon
  • 1/2 tablespoon dried dill
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • flaky salt and fresh dill for serving

For Your Chipotle Mayo

  • 2 large egg yolks at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • salt to taste
  • 1 cup avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoon vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons of sauce in chipotle in adobo can
  • pinch of paprika

Instructions

  • Start by scrubbing and washing your potatoes. Next, slice them in wedges and brine them with your pickle juice for 2 hours-overnight. You can alternatively just let them soak for 20-30 minutes as well and are in a pinch.
  • In the meantime, make your mayo. In a mason jar or narrow deep cup, add in your egg yolk, lemon juice, salt, vinegar and avocado oil. Take your immersion blender and put the blade on the bottom of the cup. 
  • Start on low speed and keep the blade towards the bottom on the jar. Allow it to get emulsified and once you see the oils mixing with the yolk, pulse and pull up. Your mayo should form this way. If it’s too watery, make sure you keep blending. 
  • Place in a bowl with a pinch of paprika and your chipotle sauce, mix well and set aside! Remove your potatoes from the brine and pat dry, but don’t rinse your potatoes. Toss with dried dill, olive oil, salt and pepper as well as a little dash more of pickle juice. Toss well. 
  • Add in your air fryer at 400 degrees for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until your fries are crispy and cooked on the inside. 
  • Serve and top with a little bit of flakey salt, fresh dill and serve with your chipotle mayo.
