Too good to throw away: Potato peels and their uses
Itching adé!
The potato peel also finds good use in the medicine cabinet. Thus, the juice of fresh potatoes has always been considered analgesic and provides good services for annoying insect bites. To do this, simply rub the fresh peel with the inside on the insect bite. The peel has an anti-inflammatory and cooling effect, so the worst itching can be averted.
Bye-bye dirt!
Potato peels are - thanks to starch! - a real secret weapon against stains and dirt. Stainless steel becomes shiny again if you rub it with the moist inside of the peel; the same applies to mirrors, which should then be polished again with a soft, dry cloth. In addition, potato peels can also be used to make an excellent dishwashing detergent to conquer the mountains of dishes.
Hello fire!
Do you have a fireplace or stove? Then you should stock up on dried potato peels for the winter. They are excellent for lighting fires and burn for a long time. Of course, you can also use them for barbecuing. The grilled potato will taste twice as good!
Ciao, Chips!
Last but not least: potato peels are the ideal snack. Fried, seasoned and served with love, they are in no way inferior to conventional potato chips. And above all, they can really and truly be made by yourself with simple means. And it goes like this: mix clean potato peels with plenty of olive oil, put them in the oven at 200 degrees on the middle shelf, turning them from time to time. After 15 to 20 minutes, the peel chips are crispy baked and can be seasoned to your liking with salt, chili, rosemary, etc..
