APPLE AND POTATO PEELS: Peeling some spuds to make mashed potatoes? Toss the skins in the oven, and they come out as a crispy snack that are a cross between fries and chips. If you’re making apple pie, hang on to those peels! They’re a gem just waiting to be transformed into a sweet, crispy apple chip. Just roast the peels, tossed with a bit of melted butter and cinnamon for a delicious snack.
POTATO WATER: Potato water is an excellent addition to homemade loaves of bread. It adds moistness and flavor and improves the texture. This water can also thicken soups, sauces, and gravies due to its starchy texture. Use the water as a replacement for part of the milk in your mashed potatoes.
