Here's a video I found of her. She's so SWEET! She's talking about potatoes here.

Aside from that, I happen to like potato peels. I've heard that's where most of the nutrition in a potato is.

The best food value of a potato is just under the peel and is unfortunately lost when a peeler is used so leave the peel on and eat it.
