eat the potato then pop the skin into the oven for five minutes or so until it's all crispy and hot then put a little more butter or chives on it. so good.

the skin on those potatoes is too thick. sweet potato too.

small red and yellow potatoes are good with the skin, though.

Hell yes, those are great. It'll use a lot of oil so use a lot of potatoes to make it worthwhile.
Use some good oil for that, like peanut oil.

tears. the saltiness brings out the flavor.
But seriously, I would answer this but I just use butter and salt. I cut it up into pieces and mash it on my plate and melt butter over it and salt it. Then I eat it like diced potatoes. Pleb or not, it makes me happy and I'm not afraid to do it in any restaurant or at home in front of the kids. They have not been scarred by it yet. I would just put whatever you like on it. I think it's sort of like bread and sandwiches..pretty much anything goes. Dump some meat chili over it and cheddar sauce with sour cream hidden under it. Taco beef maybe instead of chili. Mash it all into a big mess and eat it.

So are wallnuts, nutmeg, cinnamon, soy sauce, salt, oxygen and pretty much all the things in my spice cabinet. Dosis sola facit venemum, numbnuts - practically everything's toxic in large quantities. You'd have to eat a LOT of fucking potato skins, while dehydrated in order to feel anything.

Not that guy but I was poisoned by potato and its obvious in retrospect when they are toxic. There's a green undercoat and the flesh is really firm even after cooking. This happens when apotato is eexposed to sunlight. I grew that particular tater too shallow, didn't cover it up, then just assumed that particular spud was weird. It was a rough night

>Exposure to light, physical damage, and age increase glycoalkaloid content within the tuber.

>Light exposure causes greening from chlorophyll synthesis, thus giving a visual clue as to areas of the tuber that may have become more toxic; however, this does not provide a definitive guide, as greening and glycoalkaloid accumulation can occur independently of each other.

As a former line/prep cook at several restaurants including a couple rather well known US Prime Steakhouse chains, I'd highly recommend eating the skins from any restaurants. I've never seen any of them give the potatoes more than a cursory rinse before traying them up. Too much pressure on the prep cooks to finish up and get off the clock to save labor costs. Individually scrubbing 500+ spuds is seen by upper management as a waste of time and therefore money.

anyways why would you not eat the skin its the best part.
