I just showed it to SWMBO hoping for some home cooked meal. Sure, like that is going to happen!

I never peel potatoes. Seriously, whatever your doing, boiled, mashed, roast or chips, do everything you would normally, just don't bother peeling them. Not only does it save time, but most of the vitamins, minerals and, most importantly, the flavour, is in the skin.

That's fine with homegrown potatoes Owen but the farmed ones are sprayed with some serious chemicals at the end of the growing cycle to make the foliage die down before harvesting. On top of that there is also this: articles.latimes.com/1987-06-25/food/fo-10418_1_potato-skins

I don't eat 50 potatoes in a month, let alone in a single sitting. I've been eating the skins for years, hasn't done me any harm.

I eat 117 potatoes at each "sitting" and insist that each and every one of them is "triple peeled" / cut into pieces and then deep fried in lard..... the hot lard gets rid of any remaining toxins. The mistake "Gosselin" made was eating his 50 potatoes (per sitting) with skins on and boiled..... if he had triple peeled and deep fried he wouldn't look like this: He would look perfectly healthy like this:

Poor old Quasimodo, Esmeralda was so shallow and didn't see the "inner person".... Quasi could have been a great husband for her. Everytime I see Quasimodo it reminds me of Anita Ward, for some inexplicable reason.... I really can't fathom out the connection, maybe I am missing something obvious?

Pass the mind bleach! It's enough to make you want to wallace mate.... just shows what potato abuse can lead to

For our international members who are reading this highly scientific discussion on "peel or not to peel" I would like to point out what the technical term "wallace" means......
It is derived from the age old cockney rhyming slang and is "coded" in the potato community.... I can release that code into the public domain.
Wallace and Gromit = Vomit. So, when "one" says he wallaced, he is really saying he vomited.
Owen, did you realise that the average potato weighs anything between 1 gram and 7 pounds? The "average" is taking variable / freak potatoes into account.
There is more to your average potato than meets the eye.

Wallace usage:
I'm going to wallace all over the carpet
If I eat any more of that I'll be wallacing for days
I took one mouthful and wallaced
When she dropped her drawers I wallaced
Every time I see Alex Salmond it makes me feel like wallacing
Please excuse me, I am about to wallace... do you have a bucket I can wallace into?
I trust I have explained this well.

By the way...... what "device" produced that most annoying "pweoow" type annoying type "pweoow poom pang" thing in that Anita Ward song? It's almost as annoying as that damned idiot whacking his cowbell....
I am sorry for going off topic but cowbells really get on my nerves!
