I never fried potato peels but I do like the skin on the potato when its baked.

Just the skin or with the rest of the potato?

@marguicha mostly with the potato but I have had just the skins in a restaurant where they load it with cheese and bacon.

WE should eat them more often instead of throwing them.

@marguicha Indeed. AND they are loaded with vitamins and minerals to boot. Win, win.

I just read that you could fry them or bake them.

@marguicha You probably can. What you can't do is eat them raw or if they have green spots.

I have fried potato peels and they are delicious, it is like eating French fries.

@marguicha I like newer potatoes with skins that are smooth like red potatoes or Yukon gold, not rough skins though they also fry up well, it is just a personal preference

I´ll do exactly that. I can always use the inside. I´d put inside mozarela and some blue cheese.

@marguicha That sound good. With the inside we can make mashed.

They are delicious. I also leave some of the peeling on my potatoes when making mashed potatoes. The more vitamins the better.

I usually eat the peels after they are baked, in mashed potatoes, or on fries.

@marguicha I never waste time peeling potatoes - I always cook them unpeeled and eat the lot.

I don't fry just the peelings, but I often fry potatoes with the peelings still on.

I have had them roasted or kind of like chips before. It is really good. Of course the peels are always left one when we do baked potatoes, they are amazing!
