Love the crispy peeling. Drizzle melted butter, a bit of sour cream. The peeling is the most nutritious part of the
potato (according to Gayelord Houser, IIRC).

As a child, a small potato, washed and eaten like an apple, (salt shaker in hand for a few sprinkles) was a common snack.

I’ve always loved potato skins, and even eat the eyes - though I’ve read that they can contain poison...

I guess I won’t make it to my three-score-and-ten in a few years...

Reminds me of the heart-rending scene in Dr Zhivago..... peasants crammed into a boxcar, fleeing the revolutionary chaos.

All they had to eat was raw potatoes.
