AND the best of the vitamins in Potato, mainly Vitamin C is right under the skin so when you peel potatoes you toss all the goodness away. If I want the peel off I boil them in their skins, when cooked pop them into cold water and take the skins of them, they taste a lot better that way.
Economically if you are on your own like me, boil a batch of potatoes and cool them down completely in cold water and keep them in the fridge ready for frying, baking or salads. They will keep for a few days in the fridge quite happily.
