Ingredients

  • Potato peelings  (from 3-4 potatoes, washed & dried)
  • Spray oil (light, even coating)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic granules
  • 2 tsp salt (or to taste)

Instructions

  • Prep the Peelings:
    Wash and dry the potatoes, ensuring the skins are completely clean and moisture-free, as any dampness can prevent crisping.
    Lightly spray with oil for an even, crispy texture without excess grease.
    Toss with garlic granules, salt, and black pepper for maximum flavor.
  • Air Fry to Perfection:
    Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (180°C).
    Spread the peelings in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
    Overcrowding leads to uneven cooking so make sure there’s a bit of space. I did mine across two airfryer compartments.
    Cook at 180 for 8-12 minutes, shaking halfway through, until the peelings are golden and crisp.
  • Serve & Enjoy:
    Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt if needed or a pinch of chili flakes for an extra kick.
    Enjoy as a snack, a crunchy salad topping, or a flavorful soup garnish.
