What to do with Leftover Potato Peels?
My Crispy Potato Skin Chips are a quick, easy, and delicious snack. These chips are made from the leftover potato peels that are usually destined for the trash or compost pile. Waste not, want not!!! To make the chips, the potato skins are tossed with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper, then quickly roasted in the oven for about 20 minutes. As a result, no potato crisp can match these Crispy Chips when they are fresh out of the oven!
How to flavor Crispy Potato Skin Chips
This Chips recipe can be seasoned in any number of ways. For instance, some of my favorite flavors are; Fresh Herbs and Parmesan Cheese, Salt & Vinegar, Ranch, and BBQ. With this recipe, any potato chip flavor is possible, let your imagination go wild! This potato chips recipe doesn’t require potato skins. It’s possible to use the entire potato to make your own, healthier potato crisps if you like. I certainly prefer knowing what the ingredients are that I cook with rather than some of the chemicals listed on a bag of crisps.
Healthier Crisps
- The potato skin contains half of the fiber in potatoes.
- Potato skins are loaded with many nutrients, including potassium, B vitamins, vitamin C, iron, copper, manganese, and calcium.
- Did you know potato skins are naturally fat-free, have no cholesterol, and no sodium?
- When baking your own potato skin chips, you control the amount of fat (good fat, olive oil) and sodium.
- Do you want to make even healthier potato skin chips? I like to use leftover sweet potato skins to make crisps. Sweet potato skin chips with black pepper and Parmesan are out of this world good!
Do you have to use the Potato skins right away?
It is possible to save the potato peels for up to 3 days before baking them into Crispy Potato Skin Chips. Simply place the potato skins in a storage container and completely cover them in water to prevent oxidation.
