Potato Peeling Snacks
You know when you peel potatoes, what do you do with the peelings?? Dump them in the bin by any chance? Why not try using them to make your children a really tasty alternative to crisps. Trust me, your little bundles will devour them!!
What you need:
2 large white potatoes
2 large sweet potatoes
1-2 tbsps oil (olive or sunflower)
What you need to do:
When your next making mash potato with a sunday roast or on top of a cottage pie, save the peelings and follow this!
Preheat the oven to about 200-250oC
Wash and peel the potatoes, I find its better to use a knife as you tend to get a bit more of the potato flesh with the skin to add a soft with crunchy texture.
Put the peelings on a large tray and spinkle with oil. Toss the skins really well in the oil so they are well coated and then spread out evenly on the tray and cook for about 25 minutes in a hot oven between 200 and 250oC
The crisps will be ready when they are golden and crispy. Take out and drain on a paper towel. Lightly sprinkle with sea salt and serve in a big bowl for all to share!
ALTERNATIVE FLAVOURS:
Before cooking the crisps you can toss through some chilli power, mixed herbs, a veg or chicken powered stock cube, curry powder or paprika .... the choices are endless!!
Happy snacking!
I really like eatng potato peelings, even better when dipped in some garlic sauce.
