Ingredients
- About 3 1/2 ounces potato peels
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt flakes
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 410ºF. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Wash the potatoes well before you peel them. As you peel each potato, give the peels a rinse and put them in a colander to drain. Dry them well on paper towel and put them in a small mixing bowl. Add the olive oil and salt and turn the peels over until they are well coated.
- Place them on the baking tray and bake until golden and crispy, about 20–25 minutes.
- Tip the crispy potato peels onto a plate and serve immediately with a sprinkle of extra sea salt if desired.
