Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Peels from 2 pounds Russet potatoes (about 4 medium-sized potatoes)
  • Spritz of avocado oil spray (or your preferred neutral-flavored oil)
  • pinch salt
  • Your favorite dipping sauces
  • A spatula
  • Air fryer basket

Method
 

  1. Put potato peels into the air fryer basket in a single layer. Spritz them with oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
  2. Air fry at 400 degrees for 6 to 9 minutes. Stop once or twice to toss the peels with a spatula and give them another spritz of oil. Check on them during the last few minutes of cooking to make sure they get brown and crisp, but not burned.
  3. Serve right away with your favorite dipping sauces or toppings.

Notes

- For extra flavor, toss the peels with a sprinkle of garlic powder or smoked paprika before air frying.
- If your potato peels are very thin, reduce the cooking time slightly to prevent burning. Watch for a deep golden color.
- Store any cooled leftover crispy potato peels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, though they are best enjoyed fresh. They can be re-crisped in the air fryer for 1-2 minutes.
