… I say eat your potato skins, damnit!
Yes, yes, there could potentially be some pesticide residue lurking on them, but hey, if you buy organic it surely won’t be that toxic, and you can always give them a good scrubbing to get the dirt off. Also, if you fry ‘em up real good and cripsy, that should pretty much guarantee safe eating, and all those vitamins and nutrients in the skin won’t go to waste.
While the skins of my taters — and yams, and turnips and carrots — don’t necessarily fit into all recipes, they can always be cooked separately or thrown into a soup stock. Often, there are enough lying around on the counter for a whole other meal. So while I’m sure the wormies love them, I’ll be keeping some skins to myself from now on.
