Potato Peel
Description
Perfect with meals and drinks. Before you start cooking, wash the potatoes thoroughly—preferably with a scrubber—to remove all dirt. You can use cheese, meat, bacon, and herbs to add variety to the flavor of plain potato skins. You can bake the potato skins in the oven or on the grill. Serve the appetizer at the table.
