The skin is where all the nutrients are. The rest is just starch.

Delicious, wonderful starch....

I’ve had them here fixed that way. Especially good with new red potatoes, the smaller ones.

I would say the dish is "crushed potatoes" with the skin on. Sounds like a lovely dish nonetheless - if rather unsuited to today's weather!

Not very common, but I love it. Retains more nutrients, adds texture and flavour, and easier to prepare 😊 But then again I'm the sort of girl who eats the whole apple . . skin, pips, core, and all 😆

I usually leave the skins on, mostly cause I'm lazy. And they add nice flavor.

Not that common but it happens.

Sometimes I leave skin on (specially red skin potatoes)

It's quite commonly done now but when I was growing up we always peeled the potatoes. I don't think it is especially common to leave the skins on even now. As @DunningKruger says the skin contains nutrients and is best left on.
