Potato skins

[newmousecateer]

Any one besides me like to eat the skins of a white (baked) or sweet potato?

Mmmm...I like the skins as well as the potato inside.

YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I coat baked 'taters with just a touch of olive oil, and rub on some kosher salt, so they are nice and crispy and seasoned. MMMMMMMMM

Nope. I gut out the white potatoes, discard the peeling. I don't eat sweet potatoes.

 

[newmousecateer]

Mmm. Take the skins, put butter, sour cream, chives from the garden and eat them up.

Shannon,

That's where all the vitamins are

Maybe that's why I don't like them. My SIL tells me that every time she seems me with a baked potato. You'd think after 13 years of knowing me she'd know she can't force me to eat the skins. I understand why y'all would eat them, but the skins have a bitter taste to me, but then again, that might be my brain talking and not the potatoes.

I think I like the peel as much or more than the potatoe. Love sweet potatoes too

Debster,

I want to try that it sounds sooo good! Do you put the oil and salt on after or before baking?

I would rather have the skins (with a little bit of potato) than the inside of the potato. Growing up I used to scoop out the inside of a baked potato and give it to my dad and then he would give me his skin.....top it with ketchup and sour cream and OH BOY!!

RNMOM,

Before baking. Poke a couple holes in the potato to let the steam out (skins stay crispy). I usually put the oil on a paper towel and then rub it on, but if you were doing lots of them, you could pour the oil in a bowl, and toss them. Then just sprinkle the salt. Bake them like you ususally would, and YUMMY.

I like potato skins that they serve at resteraunts with some of the potato still attatched to the skin. Melt some cheese, add some bacon and chives...mmm YUM!

Bennegans makes the best!
