Air Fryer Potato Peels
Air fryer potato peels are a smart, budget-friendly snack that turns kitchen scraps into something you’ll actually want to munch on. The air fryer gives them a nice, crispy texture with much less oil than traditional frying, so you get all the crunch without the heaviness.
Equipment
- Air Fryer
- Large Bowl
- Towel
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 500 g Potato peels from clean, thin-skinned potatoes, preferably red or Yukon gold
- 30 ml Neutral oil optional, for crisping
- 5 g Salt to taste
- 2 g Black pepper to taste
- 2 g Garlic powder optional, for extra flavor
Instructions
- Rinse the potato peels thoroughly to remove dirt, then pat them completely dry with a clean towel.
- Toss the dry peels with a light coating of oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder for flavor.
- Preheat your air fryer to 200°C. Spread the seasoned peels in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Cook the peels for about 8–12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to promote even browning.
- Check for a rich golden color and a nice crisp edge; if needed, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Notes
Tip: Keep potato peels dry and avoid overcrowding in the air fryer for optimal crispiness.
