Don't waste Potato Peelings!

Previously to today, when I peeled a potato, I let the skins fall right into the trash. Today, my friend Nicole reminded me of the source of potassium in potato skins. Then she cooked a side dish that was so good, that I have sworn off every throwing potato skin away ever again. When she peeled her spuds, she put the skin in a bowl of water to soak overnight. This was to ensure all the dirt was cleaned off. Then the next day she fried the shavings of potato skins with onions and oil. Once it was finished, she topped them with ketchup for her, and left some just as they were for me! Marvellous! Waste not, want not.
