Do you eat the skin on a jacket potato?

[Don_Kiddick 11]

I never peel potatoes whether chipping, scolopping mashing or leaving whole as bolied. The skin imparts it's own flavour & as has been previously posted is the best bit.

 

 

 

Now anyone not tried this yet I recommend doing Sweet Potatoes as baked spuds - just treat them in the same way!

Mmm:P mmM!!

You're amking me hungry! I love the skin, probably more than the potato itself, especially if it's quite tough (overcooked). It tastes wonderful. Beans on a jacket spud, simple but lovely.

 

Not eating the skin is akin to buying fish and chips and not eating the batter/skin of the fish.

 

Hungry now.

I agree the skin is the best part of the potato. I even prefer to leave the skin on when I mash them!

Yep, I agree! Don't peel them, just cut them into large wedges (never tried them whole?) and put them in the oven with some oil on - oooh they are sooo good!

 

As for jacket potatoes, sometimes I eat the skin, sometimes I don't ! Don't know why really. I don't know why people don't like the skins whe done in the mcrowave, they're yummy when all kinda squidgy!

 

Mmmmm, hungry now too!

I once heard that the most healthy part was underneath the skin, so you lost that part if you peeled. Once a week or so I go to Pedro's Grand Potato on abbeydale road, where he always has an oven full of excelent baked potatoes, and a vast selection of fillings to try.

 

Also Sweet potatoes are excellent roasted, and quite filling. Unlike normal potatoes, you can make an excellent job of baking them in a microwave, and all that is required is a tiny bit of butter, as a whole one is enough to satisfy anyone's appetite for hours.

I actually prefer the skin of the potato as do a lot of others!!!!

 

I was told it was the best part for you...like the crusts of bread but not sure if that was just a ploy to get you to eat it all when I was younger???
