Do you eat the skin of your baked potato?

[NoTeleBob]

Always eat the skin of what you're feasting on: potato, pomegranates, people.

 

[ficelles]

I used to, but potatoes and high blood sugar are a bad mix. Normal blood sugar now but we eat not of the earth apple.

Apra-you-know-whatting-lutely. Lots of nutrition in that potato skin. If I'm doing a meal that really demands super smooth mashed, then I'll peel the spuds, but most of the time, even mashed keeps the skin.

 

[FrankJames]

Yes, after washing and a light coating of olive oil.

Yes. The skin is full of terroir. Potato sommeliers can tell what county it came from just by smelling the skin...often the farm as well.

I always ask for a sommelier to explain the potato choices at any decent restaurant.

Those potato experts are now known as pommeliers - there are three highly regarded schools for this growing profession. One in Idaho, one in Peru and one in Ireland.

Other parts of the world ruin perfectly good potatoes making something called “vodka”.

I am alive because my grandfather's prison guards did not eat their potato skins. And also a lot of luck.

Skin is the best part! You know, so long as you get all the sheep #[email protected]! off.

 

[SuprHtr]

Always.

Crispy potato skins recipe

These crispy potato skins make a great alternative to crisps for scooping up dips - and they're more filling.

Oh yeah, with butter!

 

[Buzzgrowl]

I eat the skins, it's where all the pesticides and other nutrients are.

 

[wangdaning]

I am just confused by the question, why eat a baked potato if you do not want the skin. Make mashed potatoes, but then I do that with the skin as well.

 

[Old Deaf Roadie]

Mrs. Riadie likes to do bakers in the air fryer, 25 mins. per side with a light coat of olive oil & kosher salt. It makes the skins perfect for eating.

 

[rcole_sooner]

White baked, oh yeah!!!

Sweet baked, not so much. But I do love baked sweet potatoes.

 

[gitlvr]

I am not saving my potato skin for you.

 

[KyAnne]

Sometimes...... with a light sour creme spread and a sprinkle of sea salt.

 

[Skub]

If they are crispy,yes. If they are soggy,then yuck.

Sometimes I buy an extra baked potato when out for dinner, and turn it into hash browns the next morning (with skin).

And two eggs over easy on top.

 

[Festofish]

I noticed I’ve been eating the skins less as I get older. I’m not sure why.

Absolutely
Sweet potatoes also
