Recipe Fried Potato Peels with Paprika

[MypinchofItaly]

Serves: 2 | Preparation time: 5 mins | Cooking time: 5 mins

• The peel of 4 or 5 potatoes
• Garlic: 1 clove
• Rosemary, fresh: about 1 sprig
• Paprika, sweet: to taste
• Salt: to taste
• Peanut oil (for deep frying): 500 ml

Method

Make sure to wash the potatoes thoroughly and to dry them carefully before peeling them; try to peel the skin in long, regular pieces.

Peel the garlic clove. Heat up the oil in a large frying pan and add to it the rosemary and the garlic.

When the oil is hot enough, start deep frying the potato peels, adding only a few pieces at a time. This ensure a dry and crispy result.

Let the potato peels fry for about 5 minutes, or until they are ready; remove them from the oil and lay them on a plate lined with kitchen paper. Season them with the paprika, rosemary if you want, a pinch of salt and they’re ready to be served.

How you manage to make potato peelings look so pretty is a feat of wizardry. Rosemary and paprika... lovely.

Thank you so much, although in reality I can even better handle the potato skins instead of the potatoes themselves!

So let me get this straight @MypinchofItaly? You are deep frying the "skins" and not the meat (pardon the pun) of the potato?

Absolutely brilliant idea.

I only sad thinking about the hundreds of times I threw away all the potato peels.

'Flash' is another slang word for 'posh' or up-market.
