An air fryer enthusiast has taken to social media to share her favourite trick to turn unwanted vegetable peels into a tasty snack – and you only need a handful of ingredients.
Most people throw them away when prepping their potatoes –but an air fryer enthusiast is urging cooks to keep hold of them. TikTok user Air Fryer Girl UK has shared her four-ingredient recipe to make a tasty snack from your leftover potato peelings – and people can’t get enough.
In her video, she is simply seen peeling her potatoes before washing them clean and drying them off. From there, she adds oil, salt and pepper to taste and adds them into the air fryer for 10 minutes at 190C.
She said: “Give them a shake and pop them back in until they’re crispy.” While some users said they wouldn’t dream of eating potato peels, others shared their excitement to try the simple snack.
One user said: “I keep saving all these recipes like I own an air fryer.”

Another user said: “I put my chips in to the deep fat fryer then put the deep fat fryer in to the air fryer. Delicious.”
A third commenter added: “I throw garlic and rosemary with salt and pepper on mine! Absolutely lush.” And a final user said: “Does this still work if you don’t peel half the potato off with the skin?”
If you don’t have an air fryer or deep fat fryer, there’s no need to panic. You can crisp the potato skins up in the oven instead.
Simply lay them onto a baking tray with a drizzle of olive oil and sprinkle of salt, then bake until crispy. Alternatively, try shallow frying them in a pan on the hob.
