Do you eat your baked potato skin?

[thecutback]

Or are you a heretic?

Yep and l eat my dd's too cos apparently it is disgusting! She'll learn!

Yes. It’s delicious, and nutritious!

@WitchesBritchesPumpkinPants

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!!!

Are you allowed the skin only? Fingers crossed?!

Mine, DD's and anyone else's thats going spare.
DFIL doesn't eat baked potato skins, baked beans, mayo or gravy. Heretic indeed.

We used to have an Aga. I'd put them in m, before the school run, take the youngest to tumble tots and home fir an amazing baked potato!

Oh those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end...

@thecutback. Sadly not. You'd cry if I posted what I can eat.

Oh! That's not fair.

Enjoy one for a treat sometime!

Impale the potato on a metal skewer and it will cook quicker. Definitely my favourite food 😋

Yes, for it is the law!

Oil and salt before baking, it’s like eating a hug. Heavenly.

It's the best bit!

Microwave for 25mins. Cover with oil and salt. Bake for 30-40 mins. Skin is beaut!
Also, butter beans and cheese on top and lettuce and cucumber on the side is the best combination.

Yes - best bit.

Thank god someone is getting to the nub of the issue

Yes.
DD doesn't like hers so I fill them with butter, tomatoes, grated cheese and salt and pepper and microwave for 20 seconds. Melty.

I had a jacket spud this evening, first time in ages. Oil and salt before baking to make the skin crisp. I baked half a dozen as I'd put the oven on and there's only me, I'll can use the inside of the extras for mash and make loaded potato skins with the rest. The mash and skins freeze well.

the skin is the best bit.
@NeonSparkle Unless I've got the oven on for a long time for something else, I microwave the potatoes for a couple of minutes, and then finish them in the oven - still get a crispyish skin in about half an hour.

Ooh i love the skin. And have only found the delight of oil and salt rubbed in first. Chilli flakes as suggested by a pp sounds even better.

(I'm another one that never peels potatoes, mash is delicious with skins in)

Yes, every bit.

Crispy and delicious, drenched in butter..Black pepper and a tiny bit of sea salt..Divine.

Microwaved ''faked potato'' limp dick skin.

Yuck.

Always. And when making them to freeze, I always overstuff them so some skins are left over for double-baking as is.

It is the best bit, dh is generally picky so he leaves his. There used to be a place near my work who made awesome baked spuds, they put them in the oven at about 9am...now they are shut I struggled to find anywhere else as good, most are not crispy enough on the outside of fluffy enough on the inside...I might pop one in the oven for wfh lunch tomorrow!

Absolutely and get DH's too as he doesn't like it. Win-win

only at home if I baked the botato myself.
not when out and about...I hate it when the skin is sandy.

Yes, always have and always will
