People take the skin off ??

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.

I like it like that.

scrub them good and leaving the skin on is super

I like to have the skin on my cooked potatoes too.

I've had them this way, though I'd prefer peeled.. Unless red potatoes, or gold potatoes or used, then skin on.

No! Leaving the skin on spuds for mashing is weird!

Not that common but it happens.
And Bangers and Mash is great...hope there were onions

I leave the skins on the potatoes when i make mash spuds .

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 leave them on but when I was over there my roomate freaked out like I've never consumed a potato in my life before

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

sounds interesting, glad it turned out well.

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!

Update… it was delicious 😋

I’ve never had bangers and mash but I like mashed potatoes like that

It’s good that way

To each their own
Some like it some don’t

It’s just posh mash
Good if you like your mash with more texture. Awful if you like it smooth

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

Delicious, wonderful starch....

My parents leave the skins on. Says it's more rustic and the skins are good for you

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

Sometimes I leave skin on (specially red skin potatoes)
