Potato Skin Crisps is a crispy and flavourful alternative to potato chips, perfect as a starter, aperitif, or simply a clever anti-waste recipe. Coated with a mix of semolina and Pecorino Romano, fried until golden, so good.
Serves: depends on the amount of potato skins, Cooking time approx. 10 mins
- Potato skins from peeled potatoes: a bunch
- Pecorino Romano grated, 2 tbsp
- Dried Thyme, to taste
- Durum wheat semolina flour: 3–4 tbsp
- Peanut Oil, about 5 tablespoons
- Salt, a pinch
Method
Rinse the potato skins and dry them thoroughly.

In a bowl, mix durum wheat semolina with 2 tablespoons of Pecorino Romano.
Toss the potato skins in the mixture until evenly coated.
Heat peanut oil in a frying pan and once hot and bubbling, add the coated potato skins and fry until golden brown.
Remove the crisps from the pan and place on a plate lined with absorbent kitchen roll.
Immediately sprinkle with extra grated Pecorino Romano, dried thyme, and a pinch of salt so the cheese sticks well.
Serve hot for maximum crispiness.
