Equipment

1 Air fryer
1 Chef's knife

Ingredients

2 Potato use only peels
2 tsp. Olive oil
½ tsp. Pepper
½ tsp. Paprika or cayenne for more heat (optional)
½ tsp. Salt

Instructions

Peel the potatoes. Keep the peels longish. Now wash them well, about 2-3 times till they are free of all muck and will lose their excessive starch too.
Dry them very well using paper towels. In a bowl, toss the potato peels with oil and seasoning till they are well coated.
Preheat air fryer at 360F or 180C for about 5 minutes. Lay the seasoned potato peels in one layer. Remember they shrink on air frying.
Air fry at 360F or 180C for 5 minutes. Shake the basket once in the middle for uniform air frying.
Take them out and serve immediately. Your crunchy air fryer potato peelings are ready to eat. Enjoy.

Notes

1. Dry the peels well before seasoning.

2. Also washing the peels 2-3 times with water helps remove the starch and makes them even more crispy.

3. Don’t overcrowd the basket so that the peels cook uniformly.

4. Keep an eye on the air frying time as the peels can scorch very quickly. Open every minute after 3 minutes of air frying.

Storage Instructions
