Tips and Tricks
Can I use Sweet Potato Peels too?
You sure can. You can make these the same way or even sweeten them up with brown sugar or other sweet spices like cinnamon.
Can I make these in the Air fryer?
You can do them the same way and cook them at 400 degrees in the air fryer for about 10-15 minutes shaking half way through.

What makes these Potato Peel Chips so good?
I am of the opinion it is their simplicity that makes them taste even better. The fact that nothing was wasted is an added bonus for me.
These are great alone for a tailgate party or you can use them for a side to these great Sheet Pan Bacon Cheeseburger sliders. You can even mix up the sauce you use for the sliders and use it as a dip for these Potato Peel Chips!
