The potato skin is made up of and contains most of the nutrients and vitamins that potatoes contain so eating the potato skin can help improve your health.

Although you get the best health benefits eating the entire potato along with the potato skin instead of peeling the potato skins off.

When you remove the potato skin you remove the best part of the potato that is more concentrated in nutrients, minerals and the vitamins.

So eat the potato skin along with the potatoes to get the most out of the potatoes.

You can also fry potato skins and make potato skin fries which are also very good to eat and are tasty.
