Try cutting up a tortilla wrap into triangles, spraying with a tiny bit of oil and baking in a hot oven? The toss in some salt / pepper / paprika etc.

Hi mo 1,

Potato peelings make great crisps and are very nutritious: Preheat the oven to it's highest temperature...mine is 250 degrees. Dry off the (scrubbed before peeling) peelings with kitchen paper, put them in a bowl add some chilli. garlic powder or black pepper and toss around in some oil. Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer and pop into the hot oven for about 15 minutes. You need to keep a really close eye on them as it's a fine line between being undercooked and burnt! Drain on kitchen paper and add salt and pepper to taste. My kids love them!

These threads have more recipes and advice that should help:

Reproducing commercial dry baked crinkly crisps

Vegetable Crisps

Homemade microwave crisps

I'll add your thread to the first link later to keep the suggestions together.

You know I always throw my potato skins away, keep saying I'm going to keep them and fry them (love crispy potato skins with garlic mayo.... mmmnnnn!)

Next time I have potatoes I'm making them into crisps

Any ideas how long they will keep for? x

Ages...as long as they are cooked until dry and kept in a airtight sealed container. If they are underdone and still a little moist then they won't last long but then they won't be crisps.

Hi, they sound fab, do you think they would work in the actifry?

YES...and much more accurate on the temperature and timing so you will get the best result.

They will need more oil than the chips though due to more surface area of potato so maybe use a spoonful for about 200 grams of vegetable peelings (it doesn't have to be potato) and see how it goes.

Thanks for the tip will give it a whirl!

if making dorito style crisps use corn tortillas rather than the soft flour ones. much more authentic!
