When you eat a baked potato do you eat the shell with it or just the inside part?

SW-User

the whole damn thing. cut it up completely, then mash it flat with my fork, butter, salt, pepper, sour cream, yum. lots of fiber and extra nutrients in the skin.

@samueltyler2 definitely crispy, they can keep the microwave.

Swoop62 · M

@Repete Neer I can do with or without crispy and some are thin skinned anyway.

Repete · 61-69, M

@Swoop62 usually a new potatoes have thin skins after they’ve been harvested the skin gets thicker.

Kygirl · F

I would love to be able to bake you a potato in my AirFryer. I taken by complete surprise when I just rubbed them in olive oil and covered in sea salt and put it directly in the AirFryer.

Swoop62 · M

@Kygirl Sounds good but a fryer bakes and will you get in trouble using the kitchen?

Kygirl · F

@Swoop62
Did I mention to you that I have my AirFryer at church... 😁

Jacko1971 · 51-55, M

@Kygirl we bake potatoes in the air fryer. They take half the time and come out really well.

Gusman · 61-69, M

Yes, baked with skin on. Supposedly that is where a great deal of the nutrients are.

Kygirl · F

@Gusman yes it is a lot more healthy. But I don't like the skin.

Swoop62 · M

@Kygirl Trght, who wants to get healthy. You snuck back in.

LadyGrace · 70-79

Just the inside part.

Lilymoon · F

Skin if I made it.
Restaurant...no

SHREKPage

@Lilymoon same here, I like to soak the skin in saltwater before I bake it. seems to season it a bit

Swoop62 · M

@Lilymoon I see the thought as you know the clean when you do it at home.

Lilymoon · F

@Swoop62 yep exactly

Kygirl · F

Oh my, 😂🤣😂LOL
I was thinking the same thing when I saw your post so I just stuck it on yours 🤣🤣🤣LOL.
I don't know why they keep posting the same thing over and over again...
Whatever floats their boat 🤣😂🤣LOL.

@Kygirl Just had another round of replies. May the potato live forever.

PrivateHell · M

Just the inside part. The skin always tastes like dirt to me no matter how well it is washed

@EPFriend Hey, I think I can pull that one off. Thanks. I rarely fox a potato at home.

EPFriend · 22-25, M

@Swoop62 Enjoy your potato as a matter of fact I'm going to cook me up one also. 🥔

Swoop62 · M

@EPFriend hey, good to be a potato farmer as just got a customer. haha

Kygirl · F

I eat just the inside but I hear all your vitamins are in the pelling.

Swoop62 · M

@Kygirl You are really stuck on this potato question. Just eat the peeling along with the inside as adds texture.

Jordan420 · 56-60, F

the skin too. I never ew of any other way !!

Swoop62 · M

@Jordan420 Well, I will open the door and serve you a baked potato then and I eat the skin as well. thanks for finding this.

Kygirl · F

@Jordan420 I eat only the potato.

Galanr40 · 61-69, M

Normally the skin as well...

Swoop62 · M

@Galanr40 I feel the same way. Can't believe I posted this question 5 years ago and just go 2 more answers. thanks.

AmericanBroad · 31-35, FVIP

Just the inside part

Swoop62 · M

@AmericanBroad I do the whole thing and even better if it was salted while cooking.

AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M

I usually eat the whole baked potato. I even like the skin a little crispy. Lol

@AthrillatheHunt hey thanks, it comes back from the dead from time to time. A question that does not go off to die.

Kygirl · F

@Swoop62
I know exactly what you mean S. You would think that someone would by now come up with something new... Plus who really cares about how others eats their baked potatoes. They must be really bored..... 😂 LOL

Swoop62 · M

@Kygirl What, you are kidding. I am driven to see how others eat a baked potato and the question lives on. haha

Repete · 61-69, M

Didn’t know a potato was a nut 🙃

Yes I eat the whole thing , liked them better when cooked in a wood stove , just my opinion.

Swoop62 · M

@Repete Never did the wood stove thing that I know of anyway.

PatKirby · M

Of course! The outer peeling has minerals and vitamins you can get no where else. Besides I like the crunchiness!

dancingtongue · 80-89, M

The vitamins are in the skin. Insides, you just get carbs.

Kygirl · F

@dancingtongue

I agree with what you are saying but I love mashed potatoes, fried, potatoes and baked potatoes. I love hash browns, potatoe cakes, potato salad, I like gratin potatoes, to be perfectly honest with you there's not many ways that I don't love potatoes.

Happyheart1 · 36-40, M

Me too I’m a foodie :) @Kygirl

dancingtongue · 80-89, M

@Kygirl Totally agree. Just saying that if you want full nutritional value, include the skins -- and I like skins on for fried and even potato salad (when made with little red ones). But the skins are particularly good when baked or roasted, and crispy, as well as healthier, so why discard them?

Lilymoon · F

and more importantly why is this still in the feed it's 2016 🙄😄

Teggy

@Lilymoon

Dunno but it’s a great excuse to flash my
Man-tato 🤫

Lilymoon · F

@Teggy oh my 👀 🤭

Swoop62 · M

@Lilymoon Like a fine wine I guess

dancingtongue · 80-89, M

The vitamins and nutrients are in the skin, so of course.

saragoodtimes · F

the skin is the best part

bravo55 · 70-79, M

The best part!

Swoop62 · M

@bravo55 Agree but like it mixed with the bite.

Lady90 · F

Whole thing

Swoop62 · M

@Lady90 Wow, you dug up one from about 3 years ago. But I go for the whole thing as well even 3 years later.

MrBlueGuy

I eat it all

Kygirl · F

No I don't eat the skin but I sure do eat potatoes. I eat fried potatoes, mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, boiled potatoes, scalloped potatoes, and I even love good baked potato soup and potatoes chips.

GerOttman · 61-69, M

If the shell looks good sometimes I stuff some butter in it and eat it like a pita.

WillieT · 61-69, M

Red or gold potatoes, I eat the skin. The skin on the russets is too thick and chewy for me.

Kygirl · F

Can't wait to cook for the kids...
Next Monday about 5:00pm.

Fungirlmmm · 51-55, F

If i cooked it the whole thing.

biandlargeny · 56-60, M

Yes love the skin

Spumoni · 46-50, M

The whole thing

FreeSpirit1 · F

The whole thing.

cuddles1266 · 70-79, M

I eat the whole thing!

ArishMell · 70-79, M

I eat the lot!

goliathtree · 56-60, M

all of it.

@EPFriend So,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, tell me the difference between Roasted or Baked ?

Kygirl · F

@SW-User
This looks so good, it should come with a recipe.

Swoop62 · M

@Kygirl well, is that baked or roasted and if so what is the difference? Pass the salt.

candycane · 31-35, F

I bake it till its crunchy eat the center then fill with butter salt pepper paprika and ceyene pepper and eat them last.most give me the skin to eat lol

Swoop62 · M

@candycane well, young lady, then the inside is the appetizer for you. You do add to it with that. I can see you in the restaurant with 12 skins on the plate. i do the whole thing usually unless there is dirt.

Kygirl · F

@Swoop62 Dirt
In a restaurant,
Surely Not... 😂LOL

SStarfish ·

All of it. I eat pizza crusts too

Swoop62 · M

Waste not, want not is the motto there. I sometimes will eat the whole crust but depends on the crust type. I do make the whole potato disappear. Thanks for the reply.

cherokeepatti · 61-69, F

I eat the skin if I make it at home because I scrub it really good

Swoop62 · M

I do see the point as not sure what a restaurant did with it, I have actually seen dirt in the aluminum foil. Thanks for your time to answer.

yellowstone

If I'm really hungry, I'll eat the skin, too

Swoop62 · M

Appreciate the answer and I about always eat the whole thing but the foil. :)

Swoop62 · M

Well I would not say 100% either but high percent, sometimes the shell is not clean either. Thanks for the reply

NigelDoes · 56-60, M

All of it.

Swoop62 · M

I do that also and more do than I thought so far. Thanks.

Kygirl · F

You must be a city boy 😁😁😁 us country folks calls it a peeling lol.
Just kidding, I guess that it is a shell because I wrap it up in foil and bake it. After it gets done I squeeze it and mash it carefully and then I gently open up the foil with the peeling and spread it open and pile up high with real butter and salt and dig in.

Am I dreaming or has Arby's brought back there baked potatoes? I was there yesterday going thru the drive thu and I thought that I saw them on the menu.

BobM1953

I always eat whole thing potato skins are good for you

Swoop62 · M

@BobM1953: Thanks, I do as well and had heard they were good for you.

Diyanne · F

I eat just the inside part.

Swoop62 · M

Thanks, maybe I should have polled it but I eat it all and wondered if many other did.

Diyanne · F

@Swoop62: Ohh okayy. ☺

Tminus6453 · M

All of it.

Swoop62 · M

Appreciate the answer and I do as well and don't recall how that started.

bentonlake · 70-79, F

Shell

Swoop62 · M

@bentonlake: me as well. helps if they have baked it with salt and butter on the outside.

Gossamerwings · 70-79, F

I love potato skins, especially if they are crispy , so I eat it all.

bentonlake · 70-79, F

Shell
