I’ve never understood why people don’t eat the peel off of their baked potato. That’s part of the fun of the whole thing.

Speaking personally, I just don't like the taste of russet potato skins. I like the taste of most other types, but just not russets. And most people prefer making baked potatoes out of russets.

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.
