Thanks to Classicman for alerting me to this thread. Maryanne can peel my spud anytime she wants.
Okay, being the Spudman, I'm going to weigh in now before thread drift happens, and a lot of fiction is taken as truth.
First, potatoes are evil, so they deserve to be boiled and flayed.
Second, There are no vitamins in the skin. Squirell was almost onto the truth. It was an invented legend to stop people from enjoying the full flavor of the potato. The only thing the skins have in them is behavioral modification compounds, put there by the government to control the masses. This has been proved many times, but the web pages mysteriously disappear.
As you were.
