Ingredients

  1. About 2 cups neutral oil, such as canola oil
  2. Peels from 5 potatoes, dried well with paper towels
  3. Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
  4. 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  5. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  6. 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. In a Dutch oven or a large, wide pot, add the oil and heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer registers 350 degrees F.
  2. Fry the potato skins in the hot oil until golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with clean paper towels to drain the excess oil. Sprinkle on some salt and pepper.
  3. Melt the butter in a pan over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook until aromatic, 1 to 2 minutes.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the skins, garlic butter and fresh parsley and toss to coat. Season with a little more salt and pepper. Serve warm.

These are WAYYYY BETTER than the oven ones. I did them in my deep fryer and they came out perfectly!! They are almost as crispy as home made potato chips!!! Delicious!!!

These are the BOMB!!!  So good. I had no idea… I used 1/2 the amount of butter and one large garlic clove and it was plenty with skins of 5 large potatoes.  YUM!
