Steps:
- Sandwich the potato peels in an even layer between paper towels. Press down to blot and remove any excess moisture from them.
- Attach a deep-frying thermometer to the side of a large, wide pot. Fill with about 2 inches of oil and add the bacon fat. Heat over medium-high heat to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
- Fry handfuls of the potato peels at a time, stirring them around with a slotted spoon to keep them from sticking to each other and to help them brown more evenly, until golden brown and crispy, 3 to 5 minutes per batch. Transfer them with the slotted spoon to the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle generously with salt right away (you have 10 seconds!). Repeat with the remaining potato peels. Serve hot with ketchup, mayonnaise or equal parts mixed together for dipping.

Tips:
- Choose potatoes with thin, tender skins, such as Yukon Gold or red potatoes.
- Scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris.
- Use a sharp knife to peel the potatoes into long, thin strips. The thinner the strips, the crispier the potato peels will be.
- Soak the potato peels in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. This will help them crisp up in the oil.
- Pat the potato peels dry with a clean kitchen towel before frying them.
- Heat the oil to a temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit before adding the potato peels. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
- Fry the potato peels in batches so that they don't overcrowd the pan. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking together.
- Cook the potato peels until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch.
- Drain the potato peels on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
- Season the potato peels with salt, pepper, and your favorite seasonings while they are still hot.
Conclusion:
Fried potato peels are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or side dish. They are a great way to use up leftover potato peels, and they are a healthier alternative to traditional potato chips. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own delicious fried potato peels at home.
