This is how potato peels become crispy chips!

Have you ever heard of potato peel chips? I show you how you can conjure up something really tasty from the supposed waste!

Fancy something to nibble on? Then healthy chips made from potato peelings are the solution. So nothing stands in the way of a cozy evening.

Conventional chips are not exactly a good alternative. They are very high in calories, unhealthy and packed with unhealthy fat.

Yes, in between they are really tasty, I must admit.

But you can just make potato peel chips and you'll rave about them at least as much.

Unlike store-bought snacks, you can use your favorite spices here. In addition, these chips are still warm and therefore particularly tasty.

You can munch on them in front of the TV or even eat them as a side to a burger.

These potato peel chips are

• vegan
• therefore without lactose and other animal foods
• Packed with fiber
• gluten free
• perfect for those who like to snack healthy
• also suitable for sensitive stomachs
• a great way not to waste food

In the future, you won't have to throw away any more shells. You can turn them into crispy and healthy chips in the oven.

What potato peels are suitable for chips

A rumor still persists: potato peels are poisonous. But what's the truth?

Yes, the skins contain substances that protect potatoes from predators. However, in today's varieties, these are so negligible that you would have to eat a whole bucket full of uncooked peels to get poisoned.

But because this is a topic on which there is so much to say, you can find it in long form in a separate post.

If you pay attention to this, you are on the safe side

• Go for organic potatoes. Their skin is not contaminated with pesticides.
• Very fresh potatoes taste best. Buy them best at the market or directly from a farmer.
• Always store potatoes in the dark so they don't sprout.
• Cut germs and green parts from the tubers. This is where the unhealthy substances collect.

My personal experience is that waxy potatoes are better. They do not fall apart after baking. But if you only have floury ones at home, you can still try it. The skins ensure that the chips do not fall apart.

Dips that go perfectly with potato peel chips

Homemade chips without dips, that sounds very boring. A tasty sauce gives the healthy snack much more flavor. I have created a list here. These sauces you can all easily prepare yourself.

• Curry, sour cream and salt
• Sour cream and garlic
• Sour cream and herbs
• Ketchup - when the chips are still warm
• Guacamole
• Barbecue sauce
• Paprika sauce
• Salsa sauce

and much more.

If you want to give your snack a very special touch, put a sprig of rosemary in the oven with it. The aroma then spreads automatically to all the shells. Mega delicious!

Be very sparing with the oil. If you use too much, the chips will become mushy. Better too little than too much is the motto.

How to season the chips best

Important: The potato peel chips are always seasoned directly before eating and not already in the oven. I can recommend a few delicious spice blends in particular.

• Salt and pepper
• Salt, bell pepper and paprika powder
• Chili salt
• Rosemary and salt
• Salt and smoked paprika powder

This is the secret to crispy fries from the oven!

Our conclusion

Potato peel chips taste much better than they sound. Since they are sliced very thin, they become very crispy. If you don't have a use for the peeled potatoes, then you can also slice them thinly with a peeler and turn them into chips.

Good luck and enjoy it!
