You can turn potato peels into a delicious snack in no time at all
We love potatoes in every shape or form. Boiled, mashed, baked, fried: potatoes are so versatile! You can boil, bake or fry them with the peel still on, but more often than not, we peel our potatoes before preparing them. So, what happens to the peels? They often end up in the bin. This is a huge waste, however, because you can make something really tasty out of potato peels.
Make the most out of your potatoes with this recipe.
Potato peels
It might sound a little strange to use potato peels as a snack, but if you think about it it’s actually pretty logical! If you’ve ever eaten those rustic type of fries that are fried with their peel still on, you know how nice and crispy the peel becomes. The peels are fine to eat as long as you make sure you properly clean the potatoes before using them. They do come out of the ground, of course. So, have we gotten you interested in this potato peel snack? All you need is a frying pan!
