Crispy Potato Skin Dippers
Crispy Potato Skin Dippers are a smart way to turn potato peels into a crunchy snack. Instead of tossing the skins, they’re tossed with olive oil and simple herbs, then roasted until crisp and golden.

They come out light, savory, and perfect for dipping. Serve them with your favorite sauce or enjoy them straight from the pan as a quick appetizer or snack while you’re cooking.
Helpful Tips
- Soak the skins first. Letting them sit in cold water helps remove excess starch so they crisp up better in the oven.
- Dry them well before seasoning. Pat the skins dry with a paper towel so the oil and seasonings stick and they roast instead of steam.
- Spread them out on the pan. Keeping them in a single layer helps them get evenly crispy.

Crispy Potato Skin Dippers
Crispy Potato Skin Dippers are a smart way to turn potato peels into a crunchy snack. Instead of tossing the skins, they’re tossed with olive oil and simple herbs, then roasted until crisp and golden.
Ingredients
- 3 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.
