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.
Preheat the oven to 220°C/gas mark 7
To make the bagna cauda, add the garlic, milk and cream to a saucepan and cook over a very low heat until the garlic is soft, around 15-20 minutes
Meanwhile, add the potato peelings to a baking tray and toss with a drizzle of olive oil, the paprika and season with salt to taste. Then, spread the peelings out on the tray
Bake for 10-15 minutes, turning once, or until the peelings are golden and crisp. Remove from the oven and set aside
Use the back of a wooden spoon to crush the softened garlic into the milk
Add the anchovies and stir to help them melt into the bagna cauda
Whisk in the butter and olive oil
Serve the potato skin crisps and radicchio with the bagna cauda for dipping, and sprinkle on the chives
