# How To Make It:

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They’re crispier than traditional fries, with that unique tang of pickles.
  • Dip them in spicy mayo, and you’ve got a flavor explosion that’s hard to beat!
02 -
  • When I didn't dry the pickles enough, they ended up soggy, so patting them well is crucial.
  • Adding an extra dash of cayenne to the mayo can elevate the dipping experience!
03 -
  • No more than a single layer in the air fryer—this is key to getting crispy fries.
  • Mixing in some Parmesan with the panko makes these even more addictive.
