What to do with potato skin peels when making mashed potatoes? Bake them!
All the potato skins were placed in a large bowl of cold water to soak. They were drained and spun dry; I have a lettuce/vegetable spinner, which makes this possible. Then the skins were placed in another large bowl, drizzled with some olive oil over top, a bit of seasoning salt and pepper. Toss to coat place them on a baking tray and cook in a 425ºF oven until crispy and brown. Dip or dunk them or use them as a toping these taste better than french fries.
Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend, we sure did! Temperatures have plummeted... -26 with windchill! I foresee getting a fair amount of baking done this week. Stay warm and cozy. - JD
