Air fryers have taken over British homes and continue to grow in popularity.
The device, which cooks by circulating air faster than a standard oven, can take on nearly any food, including potatoes. From roasties, to jackets to chips, the appliance can cook the vegetable in a number of tasty ways.
In the latest snack hack, air fryers are now being used to turn potato peelings into tasty crisps, leaving no food waste behind.
Shared in a TikTok video by recipe profile @thisisplanetfood, the simple hack takes 10 minutes and the only ingredient that needs prepping are the peelings.
To make the air fryer crisps, you should:
- First, wash and dry your potato peelings
- Add 2 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp onion granules, 1 tsp garlic granules, 1 tsp oregano, ½ tsp salt (can add more) and ½ tsp pepper to your potatoes
- Drizzle with olive oil and toss together with your hands
-
Air fry for approximately 10 minutes
-
Enjoy them with the sauce of your choice
The recipe received a mixed reaction from viewers, as some worried how the peelings might taste, with one questioning: "I peel them for a reason. Why would I want to cook the peel?"
But the profile was quick to reassure skeptics, responding: "Trust us, they taste amazing when you season and cook them!!"
Others who have already tried the hack confirmed this. "OMG I did this yesterday they are elite", exclaimed one viewer. Another suggested this can be used on more than potatoes, saying: "You can also do it with other veg peelings there are lush."
If you don't have an air fryer, you can also get similar results by using a standard oven, cooking the potatoes at 200C for five minutes.
