Same.

I wouldn't say the skin makes a potato dish taste 'better' the way some here have suggested, but I don't mind the taste either and it's definitely nutritious. So potato skin crew fo sho.

No. You are cleaning your potatoes perfectly.

Quick rinse under the sink (no pun intended) and they're ready to go

Always boiled them in the skin. Undeniably they have more flavor

I mean, they're literally dug out of the dirt, that's pretty dirty no?

It depends on the variety too I guess. The recommended potato for baking is russet though and those trap so much dirt in the skin, I feel like I can never get it all out. What I'm really OCD about is making sure all the eyes are out because those are poisonous.

I rarely use russet potatoes. I stick with red, yellow and white...very easy to just rinse/clean with your hands and they taste the best.

Are they really poisonous? I actually buy little potatoes. I airfry them - they’re already pre washed . I do buy sweet potatoes and when I have used whole potatoes I just do what I said. Even the little potatoes I’ll get one that tastes like straight up dirt. I just eat it. In fact it makes me feel like I’m eating the realest fucking shit on this planet(lol srs) anyways- the little potatoes I had had like a massive amount of eyes on them and I just half assed got rid of them but now I’m concerned . I didn’t die obviously but now I’m wondering how close I came
