Pork rinds are made from the skin of the pig, baked or fried crispy. They are very good for you, containing a lot of collagen. They are tasty alone, as a quick snack. Use high fat sour cream as a dip or mix the sour cream half and half with liver pate. Delicious Dip for pork rinds! Pork rinds are also useful when adding crispy bulk to other foods. They are good in chaffles and in meatloaf.
Ground up, they make a basic crispy coating for anything you want to fry. Dip the meat into egg first, then into the ground pork rinds, then into the hot grease. Both tallow and lard work well for frying. (Never, ever use veg oils of any kind.) I consider them to be an important staple for the carnivore diet and always have them ready for use. I buy mine at the store, usually located with the potato chips, but you can make your own. It's more trouble than I consider it worth to make them myself, even if I could get the pig skin from the butcher. They are not necessarily healthier made at home, either. Less salty perhaps, but salt is not a bad thing.
