Not too long ago I was making potato soup for dinner. With 8 of us in the family, it is a lot of potatoes to peel. My daughter asked why I bothered peeling them since she and I like the 'rustic' feel of peels on our potatoes. But, since my husband is like my father and doesn't like the peels, and I am my mother's daughter - they were getting peeled.
But when I looked at that pile of peels in a pile on my cutting board, I knew I had to do something with them. So, I tossed them in a little olive oil, sprinkled them with salt and roasted them in the oven until they were golden and crispy.
They were delicious right off the pan, but added a great crunch to our soup that night too!
