Do you eat the skin off a baked potato?

Question

Sometimes i do.
i'll eat potato skins but that all depends on what it is (fries, wedges, sometimes this)

you guys are making me feel bad today, especially today because i just ate a Wendy's baked potato with the works, that's a meal in its self.

I should have eaten that skin. I should just make my own.

boy was that delicious

UhOhSpaghettiOs, i love red skinned potaoes. i loe roasted potatoes, and I eat the skin off of those.

Answer 1

You should that is where most of the protien from a potato comes from. If you peel a potato you loose most of it's nutrients. Just make sure you wash your potato well before preparing it.

Answer 2

I do all the time. Sometimes if I don't want to have as much starch I squeeze the white portion out and only eat the skin. Great taste, good texture, and more nourishment per bite.

Answer 3

Off and baked potato? nope not really. Love whats inside it though lol. Buttery potato with a dab of salt and a dab of pepper. Unless of course it gets mixed in w/ other foods and I don't feel like taking it out haha .my dad and brother does though

Answer 4

The skins are awesome smothered in butter and salt. I'd be happy to eat the skins and throw the potato away.

Answer 5

Absolutely. I love the skins. And I hate pealing potatoes. I even leave the skins on when I make mashed potatoes. But I don't fry potatoes...nasty nasty fat.

Answer 6

I eat a little bit from baked potatoes. It tastes ok to me. I've also heard it has minerals.

Answer 7

If it a thin-skinned potato (red, Yukon gold, etc.) I do. If its a thick skinned potato (Idaho, Maine, etc.) I don't. At home, I buy thin skinned potatoes for baking.

Answer 8

if its a baked potato i just eat the potatoe on the inside.

Answer 9

Only if I've baked it- restaurant baked potatoes freak me out because I never know if they've been washed thoroughly.

Answer 10

not on a baked potato
