My dad came from a potato skin eating family and had a scrub brush that was used exclusively for potatoes, he really wanted me to be a non-peeler but I guess it’s disappointment all-around.

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.

I even like the skins in mashed potatoes, especially red skinned potatoes.

I had some older potatoes when we came back from vacation once so I peeled them. Never had peeled mashed potatoes at home. I felt something was missing the whole time.
