with or without skin?

Nothing beats red potatoes, with the skin on. I can't remember the last time I ever peeled a potato, let alone bought regular potatoes. They might have been thick because you didn't add enough milk or butter. I do instant potatoes most often though, once or twice a week. I like the brand Idahoan, they make a bunch of different flavors like 4 cheese, they're the best. It's not too expensive either, it's about $1 a package. I need 3 packages for my family.. but there's usually left overs.

Mmm... mashed potatoes! I could happily skip -everything- at the Thanksgiving table and just eat mashed potatoes, butternut squash and dressing! I actually like my mashed potatoes thick and chunky, with the peels on, thanks... but only if the potatoes are a thin-skinned variety - red are good, Yukon are better. I love Yukon gold potatoes with butter, salt and pepper - maybe some garlic salt.

I love mashed potatoes lots of different ways, and one of my favorite is with the skin on, as it really has a lot of flavor, and as long as the potato has a thin skin rather than a thick skin, and it is for the most part a "new potato", as they and the reds have the most flavor, then I'm happy.

With please. It is where the vitamins are. My hubby made baked potatoes tonight. And I ate the whole thing skin and all. With mashed, I think it also adds to the flavor. The texture isn't bad either.

No matter what type of taters I use, I always leave the skin on. The skin of the potato is the most vitamin-filled part, I love it.

I like mashed potatoes of any sort but with the skin off. I like baked potatoes all the way down too the skin but better if they are cooked a little too long so the skins are crunchy. yummy!

The only time I ever peel potatoes is for mashed potatoes. I've never tried leaving the skins on, I guess I've just never thought about it. I might have to try leaving the skins on next time I make them. My family would probably like them with the skins on, since we always eat roasted potatoes, baked potatoes, etc with the skins on.

if i will cook big potatoes then i will peel the skin off. if i will cook baby potatoes then i will no longer peel the skin. if i will fry the potatoes like idaho for examples i will not peel the skin anymore if i make it to chips. it all depends on what i am going to cook or what am i going to do with the potatoes.

When I eat baked potatoes I eat it all skin and all and I put butter and garlic salt on it and it's good that way. But Now I have to change my diet and eat different.

I love eating mashed potato with or without skin though I prefer more the without skin mashed potato. I never tried to make mashed potato, but my cousin love it and always have in their house. I only eat mashed potato with skin at their house. I love eating mashed potato in KFC. They taste good and the gravy blends well with mashed potato especially when it's hot. They so tasty and yummy that I feel hungry now.

I like them both ways. Normally I use russet potatoes, but I will sometimes do red. I bought a 5 pound bag of Yukon Gold potatoes last night that I am going to use for baked potatoes. I have not used them for mashed potatoes yet.

I have to say that I am more comfortable with mashed potatoes minus the skin. I tried the ones with skin, it's ok but I still find it uncomfortable. Anyways, they say the skin has more nutrients than the one peeled.

I prefer them without the skin, that is for for boiling them and frying them.. I love it this way! I don't think that I can handle the skin being on mines while eating.. But I will make an exception, I will eat the baked potato from Wendy's with the skin on it.. But, I will not eat the skin itself.. I will just eat the insides of the potato..

I totally prefer the skin. The skin contains certain vitamins , for the life of me i can not remember the vitamins name, that helps with aging and helping to keep you younger. . My favorite potato is the golden. so good for mashed or potato soup.

I only half peel our potatoes because the skin adds to the fiber and the flavor. If I leave all the skins on it is harder to mash them. I have mashed both red and white potatoes but for the most part I do the red ones. One year we raised some keenybeck potatoes they were the best that I have ever had. I haven't had any that good since then and they were a white potato. I would like to find them again. We were iving in Kansas at the time.

It depends for me on which potatoes I use. The white ones or yellow have to have the skin removed. Red I actually partially peel and make them that way.

with skin absolutely!

Well I have never mashed potatoes with the skins on! I do love mashed potatoes and that is my fave way to eat potatoes. I only buy cheap white potatoes but they are good for everything

I love mashed potatoes. I usually order them as side dish at KFC. I think we only have the same potatoes here in our grocery. Maybe am not just that particular or keen at really looking at potatoes. Even though I love mashed potatoes, I don't know how to cook and prepare them. I just love to eat! LOL

Hahaha. I usually use yukon gold or red potatoes with the skin on. I like to use sour cream, cream cheese, and milk to get the right consistency. I also like to add chives or a bit of pressed garlic in with mine. I am a bit of a glutton when it comes to potatoes. There is absolutely nothing that beats Grandma's potatoes though. Good ol' bag of white baking potatoes, peeled and mashed up with LOADS of butter, a touch of milk, and a dash of salt. I don't know how she does it, it's a simple recipe but I can never manage to make them taste like hers. Grandma secret I guess! :)
