I think my family eats their weight in potatoes ever year. It’s truly one of their favorite foods. If you were to ask them, these Smashed Roasted Potatoes would be their top spud recipe to eat. I am a true mashed potato girl, which makes it super easy to make these Rosemary Roasted Potato Peelings. Save those peels in a bowl of cold water in the refrigerator.

Saving the potato skins is not only reducing food waste but they turn into a wonderful simple and delicious snack or appetizer. They come out of the oven crispy and golden brown. Think potato chips but healthier since the peels have the fiber and nutrients in them.

I placed the potato peels in a plastic container of water and kept them in the refrigerator with every intention on making this recipe the next day. However, as it happens with me, I forgot….for 4 days! I thought surely those peels would be brown and not good anymore. To my delight, they were perfect and good to use!

You want the peels to be dry so if you’ve stored them in cold water, drain and pat dry with a paper towel before roasting. Also, discard any green peelings since they can contain solanine, which is a toxin that is not usually an issue in potatoes, since potatoes simply don’t contain enough of it to bother most people.

How to Make Rosemary Roasted Potato Peelings

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. I usually line my sheet pan with parchment paper, but this particular time I forgot. Works either way!

Step 2

Place the potato peelings on large baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil over them and then sprinkle the garlic powder, rosemary, and salt over the skins. Toss to coat and spread out in a single layer.

Step 3

Bake in preheated oven for 15 – 20 minutes, or until crisp and golden, stirring them halfway through cooking time. Baking time will depending on how fast (or slow) your oven cooks. Sprinkle with more rosemary or chopped chives. Serve immediately.
