How it works
-
It's best to use fresh organic potatoes to avoid pesticides, wash them thoroughly, and cut off any green or black spots, as they may contain solanine. Solanine can be harmful in large amounts. Enjoy the chips in moderation.
-
Collect the potato peels after peeling the potatoes. Make sure they are clean and free from dirt.
-
Place the collected potato peels in a bowl and add a generous amount of olive oil or another vegetable oil. This will make the peels crispy when baked.
-
Season the potato peels to your liking with salt, pepper, or other favorite spices. Make it flavorful and creative to your taste!
-
Lay the seasoned potato peels on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Ensure they don't overlap too much so they become evenly crispy.
-
Ask an adult to operate the oven! Bake the potato peels in a preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius for about 15 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
-
Take the chips out of the oven and let them cool slightly before enjoying them with your family! Enjoy your snack and have fun!
