Notes / Tips

  • Dry the potato peels very well before air frying so they crisp instead of steam.

  • Do not overcrowd the basket, or the peels will soften.

  • Thicker peels may need 1–2 extra minutes.

  • These taste best fresh and hot right after cooking.

Variations

  • Add a little grated Parmesan after cooking for a savory finish.

  • Use chili flakes or cayenne for spicy potato peels.

  • Swap paprika for ranch seasoning or onion powder for a different flavor.

  • Serve with ranch, sour cream, or garlic dip.
