Instructions

  1. 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 skins

  2. Prepare the five-spice salt

    • In a smallbowl, mix the salt and five-spice together and set it aside
    Prepare the five-spice salt

  3. 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
    Frying

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.

Plate and Serve!
