This is what happens when I get busy and forget what's in the toaster oven

I was doing some mending in the dining room, when I smelled something like roasting potatoes. I just ignored this, thinking it was the pot of soup I had on the stove. Then it hit me. I had a pan of potato skins in the toaster oven, making a nice and frugal snack for myself.

By the time I checked the little oven, this is what it looked like. Yep, burnt to a crisp. Sigh. I picked out the less burnt pieces, then composted the rest. Another time, perhaps.

Do you do anything with potato peels? I usually toss with oil and Italian seasoning blend, and toast until NOT burned to a crisp, but just a bit toasty. They're yummy, full of minerals, and reduce waste -- most of the time.
