To make snacks crispy:
Potato peels can be good alternatives to breadcrumbs. In case you have no breadcrumbs at home and want to make a dish using them, you can make potato crumbs. For this, take a bowl of potato peels and grind them in a blender. Now, add a pinch of salt to the mixture and your potato crumbs are ready.
Make potato peel wedges:

Now, spread them on a baking tray and apply oil on top of them. Then add salt, black pepper, red chilli powder and oregano to them. Now, either shallow fry them or deep fry them and bake them in the oven for 5 minutes. Voila! Your crispy homemade wedges are ready.
Polish iron utensils:
