🥔 Air Fryer Fried Potato Peels Recipe
✅ Ingredients
-
Peels from 4–5 medium potatoes (washed well before peeling)
-
1–2 tbsp olive oil (or any neutral oil)
-
½ tsp salt (to taste)
-
½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
-
½ tsp smoked paprika (optional)
-
Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
-
Optional: grated Parmesan, chopped parsley, or vinegar for finishing
🔧 Instructions
-
Prep the Peels
-
Pat the potato peels dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel. Removing moisture helps with crispiness.
-
-
Season
-
In a bowl, toss the peels with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any optional spices or seasonings you like.
-
-
Air Fry
-
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
-
Place the seasoned peels in the basket in a single layer (work in batches if needed).
-
Cook for 8–12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. Peels should be golden brown and crispy.
-
-
Serve
-
Let them cool slightly—they crisp up more as they cool.
-
Sprinkle with extra salt, Parmesan, or a splash of vinegar if desired.
-
💡 Tips
-
Use peels from organic potatoes if possible since you’re eating the skin.
-
Works well with russet, Yukon gold, or red potatoes.
-
Add a little cayenne or chili powder for a spicy kick!
