Instructions
-
Prepare the skins
- If your skins weren’t previously washed, rinse them under tap water and towel-dry them
| If you don’t have enough peels to fry up at one go, you maystore them in the fridge in an airtight container for a few days until you have enough to make a bowl full of chips!
-
Prepare the five-spice salt
- In a smallbowl, mix the salt and five-spice together and set it aside
-
Frying
- Set a pot of oil on the stove over high heat
- When the oil is hot enough, add the potato skins, a few at a time so as not to overcrowd the pot
- Depending on the size and thickness of your potato peel, flip them after 1-2 minutes so they fry on both sides evenly
- Remove them out of the oil with tongs or a skimmer when they turn golden brown and drain over a rack
Plate and Serve!
Sprinkle the five-spice salt over the chips while they’re still hot (this is the optimal time to season, as they adhere best while the chips are hot)
| Try this out with different root vegetable peels such as sweet potato and parsnip.
