Do you eat your baked potato skin?

Or are you a heretic?

Yes!!!! It’s the best part

Yes, it’s the best bit! Crispy and salty and delicious.

Yes

Yes. Best bit and wouldn't waste food so needlessly. Why not.just eat lots of normal potatoes if you dont like the skin on a jacket?!

No I don’t, but my husband does.

Best bit!

Yes, also isn't that the bit with all the fibre etc?

Definitely unless it’s gone a bit green!

What kind of animal doesn't eat the skin?? Might have to hide this thread before it destroys my Faith in humanity.

Love the skin but only if oven cooked. Hate hate hate microwaved jacket spuds

Hell, yeah!

Of course! It's the best bit.

Do you salt before cooking?

Omg what's the point of a baked potato if you don't eat the skin?!!

Yes, that's the bit with the most fibre in it too.

If any part of the potato is green, best avoid the whole thing!

The skin is the best part. Yum.

It’s the best bit and should be punishable by life in jail for wasting it.

Why would you even bother making jacket potato if you don't eat the jacket? Might as well just make mash.

No no no, you have to microwave for around 6-10 mins and then put in the oven for 30ish mins. You then get properly soft potato inside, and a really decent skin!

Only if it's crispy!

Absolutely. I’d rather leave the inside

Oh yes!

Could argue it's easier than making mash though to be fair

Best bit. I rub butter and salt into the skin then wrap in foil before putting them in the oven.

Best but saved for the end with its own helping of butter. Bollocks, I need to change what we’re having for tea now!
