POTATO PEELS

Do you peel potatoes then toss out the peels?  If you do, you are throwing out about half the fiber of the potato.  Instead, make sure to scrub potatoes well then make potato peel crisps with the discarded peelings.  To do this place the peels on a baking sheet and sprinkle with extra virgin olive oil or canola oil, a sprinkle of salt and pepper, and a little cayenne pepper.  Bake at 400 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes until crisp.  Almost all of us need to increase the fiber in our diets!
