Potato skin crisps with creamy bagna cauda
These potato skin crisps are a great way to make the most of a part of the potato which mostly gets thrown in the bin – the peelings. But, with the help of a little bit of olive oil, salt and paprika then potato peelings can transform into delicious, savoury crispy bites. Here we’ve served them with a creamy version of a bagna cauda, a garlic and anchovy dip.
