- Quantity depends on how many potatoes you are peeling for your main recipe - Ready in 25 min -


Gather together...

Potato peelings (discard any with black spots or 'eyes' on).

1 tbsp olive oil / rapeseed oil.

Pinch of salt OR paprika.

Pinch of pepper.


Serve with...

(Optional) 1tbsp mayonnaise and a pinch of smoked paprika.

Get cooking…

1. Turn on the oven to 220 C (200 C fan) or Gas 7, so it can start to warm up whilst you peel the potatoes / prep the potato peelings.

2. Lay the potato peelings on a baking tray and drizzle with the 1 tbsp oil, the pinch of salt OR smoked paprika and the pinch of pepper.

3. Put the tray at the top of the oven and cook for 20 - 25 minutes (check the potato skins after 15 minutes), until they are crispy and golden.

4. To make the optional dip: Put the 1 tbsp of mayonnaise in a small dish and sprinkle with the pinch of smoked paprika.

5. Once cooked, leave the potato snacks on the oven tray for 1 minute to cool slightly (so you don't burn yourself).

6. After 1 minute, tip them onto a plate and enjoy them as they are, or serve them as a more indulgent snack with the paprika-mayo dip.
