If you usually toss potato peels in the trash, these Crispy Potato Skin Dippers will make you think twice. Potato skins are tossed with olive oil and simple herbs, then roasted until crisp and golden. The result is a crunchy snack that’s perfect for dipping.
They’re a great way to use something that would normally go to waste. The skins turn light and crispy in the oven, with just enough seasoning to make them hard to stop eating. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce and you’ve got an easy snack or appetizer.
Helpful Tips
- Clean the potatoes well. Since you’re using the skins, scrub the potatoes thoroughly before peeling to remove any dirt.
- Soak the skins first. A quick soak in cold water helps remove excess starch and helps them crisp up better in the oven.
- Spread them out. Make sure the skins aren’t piled on top of each other so they roast evenly and get crispy.

Ingredients
- 2 medium russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon EACH rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, and salt
- other seasonings or dipping sauce as desired
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F(200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scrub the potatoes until they’re very clean. Peel the skin off with a knife or a vegetable peeler. Ideally each strip will be about 3 inches long. It’s okay if some potato comes off with the skin. Reserve the rest of the potato for another use.
- Soak the potato skins in cold water for 30 minutes.
- Drain and dry them with a paper towel.
- In a bowl, coat the potato skins in the olive oil, rosemary, thyme, garlic powder and salt. Spread them out on the baking sheet.
- Roast for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through so they roast evenly.
Notes
- The amount of time they will need to get crispy will depend on how much potato you left on the skin. Cook until they are crispy.
