Do you eat your baked potato skin?

[thecutback]

Or are you a heretic?

Mmmmm yes, of course.

Even super fussy DD eats hers.

It’s the best bit!

@Bookworming

Oh yes, baked slowly for hours, nice and crispy and inside of potato yellow!

Yessssss this! The only way to bake potatoes

Yes , even when I’ve missed washing all the mud off ; it’s an acquired taste

Best but!

Yes! It's the best bit of oven baked potatoes. But I also love that crispy biscuit you get right at the bottom of a microwave potato - so maybe I'm not normal?

Yes if it is crispy, if not crispy then it depends

The crispy oven baked skin is the best part!!!

About 2 hours at 160. But really most low or medium ovens and more than1.5 hours work. Key thing is butter, salt and pepper and wrapped in silver foil.

It's the best bit.

Rub olive oil into the skin before baking. Amazing!

It's the best bit. I'm now craving a baked spud.

God yes, of course, it’s the best part. We had jackets tonight, done in the slow cooker. Very nice they were too.

I don't think the skin gets crispy enough if you use foil. I never use it.

I don't feel like I've had a proper meal if I don't eat the skins. Oh, and none of your rubbish 'fluffy' potatoes either! Have to be waxy ones (Charlotte for preference)!! Delicious!

Yes if it’s been oven cooked- it’s the best bit! If cooked only in the microwave then no I leave it.

I tried that once but they were just steamed with no crispy skin.

Yes

Crispy, with salty butter. Oh yeah

I very rarely peal my spuds anyway,I just give them a rub. Only if the skins are really scabby do I peal them. Pealing is too much fannying about, and anyway, the vitamins are all under the skin.

I in fact, scoop out most of the middle (and give to it DH on top of his one) fill my skins with delicious fillings made of the remaining potato and whatever I fancy and just eat those! I don't like too much potato but I love the skins. Yum.

I do this too. I do like the potato as well but I often scoop out the potato (and eat it) and then put some cheese and other filling in the skin and eat it

Yes!!! I love baked potato skin, my 18mo loves it too 😂

Yes I eat the skin. Microwave for ten mins, salt it then oven for 40 mins. That’s what I had for lunch with tuna and sweetcorn 🤤

You're killing me!

I'm a T2 diet controlled diabetic, so I no longer eat potatoes, but I might have one fir my birthday treat.

Make the most of your non diabetic diets!!!

Yes, of course! It’s the best bit, to be saved to last and enjoyed with plenty of butter.
