Wife makes real mash potatoes and has peels

Oil salt and pepper bake 350 30min or until crisp.

Bacon and/or bacon grease improves the flavor of everything, and should be required at every meal.

You might like sausage grease. To give them more of a breakfast taste.

Pretty much anything fried gets bacon flavor. Burgers, potatoes, carrots... There's no limit to the power of bacon.

Out of interest, is black pudding (blood pudding) popular in the USA? (To expand, it's a sausage make from blood. sometimes it's made from other stuff in order to avoid upsetting the sensitive souls among us.) A 'Full English' breakfast is incomplete without it.

Tried it in Germany once..... Not so much here in the states. I'm sure some folks like it but it's not on the menu anywhere I know of.

Blutwurst! It can be really good if seasoned correctly, pretty bland if not. Been served both. Cajuns made a boudin rouge, or red boudin. My dad's old hunting buddy, Ivy Thibodeaux and his wife made boudin and every now and then, after he and dad slaughtered a hog, he would make some. His was really good. Set the taste buds on fire. Seems to me the Pennsylvania Dutch made something similar.

A few of my Aunts & Uncles that were born & raised on ranches in the German settlements of the Texas Hill Country
used to make it. I never really cared for it, and like that Yankee scraple-- you never see it for sale in the grocery stores around here.

About the only thing animal blood gets used for here is fertilizer and a ingredient in catfish stink bait.

It is also used to redden hamburger.

Have to try the potato skins in the air fryer. I'm suspicious, though. Sounds delicious & healthy. Something I'm not used to. :)

Absolutely.
My large refried bean can af bacon grease is about 2/3 gone.

After i fry bacon and remove it, I fry up a sliced onion and sliced jalapeņos in the grease. Use that for scrambled eggs.
The grease is then filtered into the bean can. Gives the bacon grease a really nice flavor and smell.

Nope, we won't have any of that here, the mod's would slap the hands of anyone who would dare to derail a thread that mentions BACON:hijack::hijack:

Back to the point. I did this night before last (make roasted potato skins in case some of you forgot the thread topic):p and they were good. I peel mine pretty shallow and don't get much potato with the skin. If you want to make these, they are probably a little better if they have some small amt of potato attached.

Clean skins in the fryer and then topped with cheese.

in the great depression my mother and 5 brothers and sisters carried slices of potatoes to school in a brown bag and there father my grand father carried the peals for his lunch. beacuse of this my mother would fry some up for me, to try as a treat. i an 70+++++now and still like them. BTW- the facts that i have relayed to you- both the peals and sliced potatoes i have mentioned were raw. i cant eat them raw! but i did not live in the time period mentioned. if my mother sent me to school with them i guess that i would have eaten them?

Yes, everything is better with bacon grease.
