Should you cook potatoes with or without peel?. Simply Tasty gives tips on when it's worth using the peeler - and when you can save yourself the annoying peeling.
Potatoes with skins contain more nutrients than peeled potatoes. The peel gives the potatoes a certain bite and a nutty taste. When making baked potatoes, you can leave the skin on to create a crispy texture and enrich the potato with additional flavors. The shell contains, among other things, important minerals such as potassium, magnesium and iron. In addition, peeled potatoes have a milder taste than boiled potatoes.
