If you eat a baked (Jacket) potato... Do you ALSO eat the skin?
 

See subject !

I eat the skin and love it ! My son (A Grown Adult - Not a 'Fussy Child') scrapes out the insides and leaves the skin. He says I'm weird lol

What about you?

yep i sure do

i dont fuck around with anything and that includes eating or being potato

you knows whats nice is if you stuff the skin with some fresh poo and then bake in the oven with goat cheese @180c for 30mins

It's good for you.

actually it's healthier than potato itself

i eat it and love it

I do but only if it's an organic potato or I grew it in my own garden.

Best part of the potato.

Just depends. I do both.

its the best part - especially if dont really crisply :)

+1 definitely the best part especially with the 'fixin's' inside

yum yum yum

Some of the takeaways do Potato Skins - They put some pizza topping on - I fancy some now....

I don't eat the skin, I was never curious.

Yep. As others have said it's the best part. I just checked to make sure of that though, and apparently it's just a myth (fuck, is anything we are told true?). I eat the skins on boiled potatoes too, partly due to that myth, and partly sheer laziness.

No, but it's such a pain in the ass trying to scrape the last bit of potato off the peeling.

I eat the skin but we're very fussy on the type of potatoes we use. My fiancee doesn't, she is like your son, scrapes out the inside and leaves the skin.

You made me want a baked potato now btw!

russet are the best around these parts for baking for sure. A lot of the nutrients in potatoes are carried in the skin so i would recommend eating it. I tend to cook them a little longer to get them crispy, tastes pretty much like a chip.

unfortunately i can't eat these at all right now though as i am on a low carb diet.. hehe

Of course I do

I eat some of the skin but not all of it. I'm a fussy cunt when it comes to food to be honest...

I usually just eat the insides but occasionally eat the skin too

I eat it, why wouldn't you?

Cool thread bro

I eat it all. Even when I make mashed I leave the skins in there all chopped up of course. If you do baked potatoes on the barbecue and then don't eat the skin you're tossing away all the flavour.

The skin and just underneath the skin is where the most nutirients are.

I haven't had a baked potato for years. But the skin, as long as it was crispy was the best bit.

You need a gas or wood oven for a good baked potato, electric doesn't quite get it.

If I cleaned it myself I eat the skin its great when its nice and crispy after 2-2½ hours in the oven.

Anywhere else I skip the skin.

Boil baked size potatoes for a bit so they are almost ready, half them, put them on the BBQ with both sides getting the heat thats the best potato for me :thumbsup

I eat all but no potato skin :D

I second the Russet, followed by the Yukon gold. Really any starchy potato will do. Always rub with a little butter beforehand and generally, the crispier the better.

I partly nuke mine, baste it with olive oil, then finish it off on the bbq. Love the skin:thumbsup

I always eat the skin specially when its been cooked on the BBQ ...mmm

Yes I would.
