1 spider/ Colander
1 cooling tray
1 potato peeler
1 paper towels

Ingredients

1 lb leftover potato peels
1 tsp Old Bay or your favorite seasoning

Instructions

After peeling all your potatoes, take the leftover peels and rinse them in cold water until the water runs clear. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.
Heat a dutch oven with oil to 350 degrees F. never fill the pot past halfway with oil to prevent the oil from overflowing.
Once the oil is hot, place a small amount of the potato peels into the oil and fry them in batches for 3-5 minutes until crispy. As soon as the potato peels are crispy and golden, remove them with the spider and transfer them to a tray lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Season immediately and serve hot with the dipping sauce of choice
