Ingredients

  • 2 cups potato peels (from approx. 8-10 potatoes

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 200C.

  2. Gather 2 cups worth of potato peels from approx. 8-10 potatoes.

  3. Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Blanch the potato peels for 30 seconds. Remove peels and place on paper towel. Pat dry.
