I just cut a potato into about 8 cubes, without peeling it, and then i boil it for 10 minutes and eat it with salt, pepper and butter.
I am far too lazy to peel it, or to mash it. And i dont want to bake it for an hour when it's just for one person.
Is this a stupid way to eat a potato?

I heard that the skin might have ecoli or salminella or something on it.
That's the main reason i asked. I don't want to die from my food.

Hopefully you've washed the potato first, but there is nothing wrong with the potato the way you described. Sounds tasty! The skin is full vitamins, nutrients and fiber! You might want to try "baking" a potato in the microwave. It only takes about 10 minutes or so. Here's a recipe I found for you to try.

PS microwaving your potato will keep most of it's nutrients as opposed to boiling them (the nutrients end up in the water).

sure. people used to dig "potato holes" decrease than their homes to maintain potatoes in so that they could final in the process the iciness. that's merely the character of a healthful potato to objective to sprout (develop). So, yeah, consume all you opt for. fit than something you will ever get at McDonalds.

most of the nutiants are actually in or just below the skin so yes it's good to eat the skin, like any vegies make sure you give them a quick wash

Well if it's good to you that way, I don't see how it's stupid. If it gets hot enough when it's cooked, it will kill any germs.
