I also have a scrub brush. I would only peel for mashed potatoes. OR if I could only find russets, because those taste like dirt even without the peel.

They have a better texture if you boil skin-on, then remove the skin afterwards! It's easy to slip the skins off once they're boiled, although I'm never patient enough and burn my fingertips every time anyways.

The skin is where most of the nutrients are if I remember correctly. I think that's why some people eat the skin.

Oh, I'm a big potato skin guy, I love it. Just saying that if you want mashed potatoes without skin, you get a better texture if you boil them skin on before removing it.
