Free gourmet snack

Here's a very cheap and tasty idea bordering on desperate, but its good for you. After you wash and peel your spuds keep the skins. The same goes for pumpkin seeds. Put them on a biscuit tray in a single layer, sprinkle with a little salt and bake in a moderate oven until ready (they'll be brown and crisp).... almost no waste and a good healthy snack to boot! You can sprinkle the potato skins with a little olive oil and some paprika and bake them for a delicious and really frugal alternative to potato chips. They are great to nibble on and go really well with dips, too.
